how do i solve??
\n" ); document.write( "1/2x-1/3=1/4x+1/6
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "It's easier if you get rid of the denominators, multiply each term by 12, results:
\n" ); document.write( "6x - 4 = 3x + 2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 3x from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "6x - 3x - 4 = 2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Add 4 to each side
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 2 + 4
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 6
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 3
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check solution in original equation
\n" ); document.write( "1/2(2) - 1/3 = 1/4(2) + 1/6
\n" ); document.write( "1 - 1/3 = 1/2 + 1/6
\n" ); document.write( "Common denominator
\n" ); document.write( "6/6 - 2/6 = 3/6 + 1/6
\n" ); document.write( "2/6 = 2/6, confirms our solution
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
