1. ## Need some help

Hello, I've been having some trouble with this problem:
6c / 11 + 9 / 2 = 3

I am supposed to find the Equivalent Equation.

So far I have this:
12c / 22 + 99 / 22 = 3

Any further help would be appreciated.

No, you shouldn't multiply (11 + 9) by 2 as well.

It should be:

12c/11 + 9 = 3
12c/20 = 3
12c = 60
c = 5

Hope it helps

3. No, the problem is like this.
Code:
6c   9
-- + - = 3
11   2
It's a fraction.

Oh, ok.

Multiply straight through with 22.

12c + 99 = 66
12c = -33
c = -33/12

5. Just a tip:

When posting please use brackets because it makes it a lot more understandable.
