Question

1/3x + 1 = 1/6 (2x + 3)

what is the value of x

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To solve for x, we first need to distribute the 1/6 to both terms inside the parentheses on the right side of the equation:

1/3x + 1 = 1/6 * 2x + 1/6 * 3
1/3x + 1 = 1/3x + 1/2

Now we see that 1/3x appears on both sides, so they can cancel out. Subtract 1 from both sides:

1 = 1/2

Since 1 does not equal 1/2, this means that there is no solution for x that satisfies this equation.
