Question 91376
Solve for x: I'm assuming that this is (6 times 2) over (1-x)
{{{(6*2)/(1-x) = 3}}} Multiply both sides by (1-x)
{{{12 = 3(1-x)}}} Simplify.
{{{12 = 3-3x}}} Subtract 3 from both sides.
{{{9 = -3x}}} Divide both sides by -3
{{{-3 = x}}} or {{{x = -3}}}
In case the problem was really:
{{{6^2/(1-x) = 3}}}, then:
{{{36 = 3(1-x)}}} Simplify.
{{{36 = 3-3x}}} Subtract 3 from both sides.
{{{33 = -3x}}} Divide both sides by -3
{{{-11 = x}}} or {{{x = -11}}}
