Solve ((6+x)/2) + ((2-3x)/3) = 31/6

To solve this first we need to simplify the equation by multiplying the denominators by a common factor. If we multiply both sides of the equation by 6 we shall get an equation that is expressed with denominators. Equation then becomes:3(6+x) + 2(2-3x) = 31Expand the multiplied brackets:18+ 3x + 4 - 6x = 31 Collect Like terms ( 3x-6x = -3x) & (18+4 = 22)22-3x = 31Re arrange-3x = 9x = -3
End of Solution.
