Question 147260
A: 



{{{x/3-2=1}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{3(x/cross(3)-2)=3(1)}}} Multiply both sides by the LCD {{{3}}} to clear any fractions.



{{{x-6=3}}} Distribute and multiply.



{{{x=3+6}}} Add {{{6}}} to both sides.



{{{x=9}}} Combine like terms on the right side.

B:




{{{(x/6)-(x/8)=1}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{24(x/cross(6)-x/cross(8))=24(1)}}} Multiply both sides by the LCD {{{24}}} to clear any fractions.



{{{4x-3x=24}}} Distribute and multiply.



{{{x=24}}} Combine like terms on the left side.
