Math Problem Statement
solve this using solving eqution method
Solution
Let's solve the equation shown in the image. The equation is:
Step 1: Eliminate the fractions by finding a common denominator.
The least common multiple (LCM) of 4, 2, and 3 is 12. Multiply every term in the equation by 12 to eliminate the fractions:
Step 2: Simplify each term.
Step 3: Move the terms involving to one side and constant terms to the other side.
Subtract from both sides:
Step 4: Isolate .
Add 6 to both sides:
Divide by 5:
Solution:
The value of is .

Here are five related questions to deepen your understanding:
- How would the solution change if the constant term on the right side was different?
- Can you solve the equation using a different method, such as graphing?
- What happens if you multiply each term by a different common multiple?
- How would you check if is indeed the correct solution?
- What if the fractions had different numerators and denominators, how would that affect the process?
Tip: When solving equations with fractions, multiplying by the least common multiple can simplify the equation and make it easier to solve.
