Use the equation 1/2 (x - 4) = 1/3x + 2
How can you eliminate the fraction from each side of the equation to make finding the solution easier?

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the whole equation by 6  (LCM  of 2 and 3)

1/2 (x - 4) = 1/3x + 2

6* 1/2 (x - 4) = 6* (1/3x + 2)

3 (x - 4) = 6* 1/3x + 6*2

3x - 12 = 2x + 12

3x -2x = 12 + 12

x = 24

relating to or denoting a system of numbers and arithmetic based on the number ten, tenth parts, and powers of ten.

step-by-step explanation:

a=24; b=12

step-by-step explanation:

a/b=2: 1

a=2b

36/(1+2)=12

b=12

a=24
