Transcript text: If your answer is not an integer,
\[
\frac{6}{3} x-6=1-\frac{6}{9} x
\]
$\boldsymbol{x}=$ $\square$
Solution
Solution Steps
To solve the equation \(\frac{6}{3} x - 6 = 1 - \frac{6}{9} x\), we will first simplify the fractions and then combine like terms. After that, we will isolate the variable \(x\) on one side of the equation to find its value.
Step 1: Simplify the Equation
We start with the equation:
\[
\frac{6}{3} x - 6 = 1 - \frac{6}{9} x
\]
Simplifying the fractions, we have:
\[
2x - 6 = 1 - \frac{2}{3} x
\]
Step 2: Combine Like Terms
Next, we will add \(\frac{2}{3} x\) to both sides:
\[
2x + \frac{2}{3} x - 6 = 1
\]
To combine the \(x\) terms, we convert \(2x\) to a fraction:
\[
\frac{6}{3} x + \frac{2}{3} x - 6 = 1
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
\frac{8}{3} x - 6 = 1
\]
Step 3: Isolate the Variable
Now, we add 6 to both sides:
\[
\frac{8}{3} x = 7
\]
Multiplying both sides by \(\frac{3}{8}\) gives:
\[
x = \frac{21}{8} = 2.625
\]
Final Answer
Thus, the solution to the equation is:
\[
\boxed{x = 2.625}
\]
