Hello There:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If I interpret your equation correctly, it is:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x/3 - 6 = x/9\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let's start by clearing the fractions. We do this by multiplying both sides of the equation the the least common multiple of the denominators. In this case, it is 9.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "9*(x/3) - 9*6 = 9*(x/9)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3*x - 54 = x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now we want to get all of the x-terms on the left side of the equals sign, and we want the constant on the right side. Subtract x from both sides; then add 54 to both sides.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3*x - x - 54 = x - x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3*x - x - 54 = 0\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3*x - x + 54 = 0 + 54\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3*x - x = 54\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Combine the two x-terms on the left.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2*x = 54\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The last step is to divide both sides by 2 to isolate x by itself.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(2/2)*x = 54/2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = 27\r
