Subject: Math Name: Lynne Who are you: Student (Secondary) b) x+ 6 / 3 = x+ 6 / x How do I solve this equation? Hi Lynne, I assume you mean (x+ 6)/3 = (x+ 6)/x The technique is to multiply both sides by 3 and then multiply both sides by x. This will eliminate the fractions. 3 (x+ 6)/3 = 3 (x+ 6)/x x + 6 = (3x + 18)/x Now multiply both sides by x to get x (x + 6) = x (3x + 18)/x x2 + 6x = 3x + 18 Now solve this quadratic which will give two solutions. Make sure to verify your answer. Penny
