Question 179445: I hate fractions. I think I understand absolute value enough but when you throw fractions into the mix I get confused. This problem also has 2 fractions so im real confused.
this is the problem |x-1/3|=|1/2x+1/6|
x-1/3=1/2x+1/6
First I subtract 1/3 from each side to get
x=1/2x+1/9
then I subtract the 1/2x from both sides to get
1/2x=1/9
this is where i get confused. if i divide by the 1/2 i get 2/9. but my books says the answer is 1 ----so where did i go wrong. I know there is another side to the problem still,but if I cant get the first half then??????
