Completety forgot how to do it (dont make it difficult) Also show working outs


2x = 6
--
3

[Smiddy]

2x=6

6 divided by 2 leaves you with
x = 3

[MattyBoy]

2x=6

6 divided by 2 leaves you with
x = 3

Did you forgot the 3?

[Smiddy]

oh are you trying to do 2x = 6 over 3?

Cos i thought you were just saying the 3 for what it equalled. haha.

Ok let's try that again.

2x = 6
_____
3

I think this is right, but I haven't done these for a while now

Divide both sides by 2 (on the top row) so you're left with

x = 3
____
3

Then divide 3 by 3

x
_
1

I THINK.

YOU THINK WRONG

it's 2x/3=6
so you multiply both sides by 3 to get
2x=18
x=9

Ahh I see, well it's been a while since I've done maths, it isn't useful to me now so why did they teach me it.

Well done to you anyway.
