Subtracting Fractions
Determine the value of
x
that makes the equation true.
x
–
1
=
1
2
3
STEP 1:
Get the fraction with
x
alone on one side of the equation.
First, adds 1/3 from both sides of the equation. The
x
on the left side is now equivalent to whatever is on the other side of the equation.
STEP 2: Determine the values after adding on both sides.
x
/2 will be the only value remaining on the left side after dividing 1/3 on both sides.
STEP 3: Cancel out the denominator by multiplying it on both sides of the equation.
STEP 4: The value of
x
is 8/3 or 2 2/3.
