If 5/6x = 30, what does x equal?
As an ASVAB tutor, I cover 15 different subtopics in Mathematics Knowledge. Algebra is a very important part of this section of the ASVAB. This problem involves algebra with fractions. I devoted one of the subtopics to reviewing algebra with fractions. Some people do not like algebra. Some people do not like fractions. When some of my students see a problem that combines algebra with fractions, they become overwhelmed. I let them know that this example is not as difficult as it seems. To solve for x, it is essential to get the x on one side of the equal sign and the numbers on the other side. Do you know how to move a fraction from in front of a variable to the other side of the equal sign? I will present the answer and explanation tomorrow.
