Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
We don't know what equation you think is wrong.
__
The solution to the problem is ...
x/2 +x/6 = 2
x(1/2 +1/6) = 2 . . . . working using the given fractions
x(3/6 +1/6) = 2
x(4/6) = 2
x(2/3) = 2
x = (3/2)(2)
x = 3
__
We can also work this by eliminating fractions first.
x/2 +x/6 = 2
3x +x = 12 . . . . multiply the equation by 6
4x = 12 . . . . . . .collect terms
x = 3 . . . . . . . . .divide by 4
