You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I assume you want to solve for x...
\n" ); document.write( "\"5x%2F6-x%2F2=3\"
\n" ); document.write( "Like any other fraction addition, you need to find an LCD so you can add the fraction. The LCD of 2 fractions with denominators 2 and 6 is 6. So I can rewrite this as:
\n" ); document.write( "\"5x%2F6-3x%2F6=3\"
\n" ); document.write( "Now that these 2 fractions have the same denominator, you can subtract them:
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%2F6=3\"
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for x:
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x=18\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28x=9%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Good Luck,
