1/(x+6)=2 equation
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the equation:
$$\frac{1}{x + 6} = 2$$
Use proportions rule:
From a1/b1 = a2/b2 should a1*b2 = a2*b1,
In this case
a1 = 1
b1 = 6 + x
a2 = 1
b2 = 1/2
so we get the equation
$$\frac{1}{2} = x + 6$$
$$\frac{1}{2} = x + 6$$
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$0 = x + \frac{11}{2}$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$- x = \frac{11}{2}$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -1
x = 11/2 / (-1)
We get the answer: x = -11/2
$$x_{1} = - \frac{11}{2}$$
