This problem, we're being asked to solve the given equation.
00:03
Well, on the left -hand side, i notice we have a fraction followed by a decimal.
00:06
But take a look at that decimal, 0 .25.
00:10
Well, that's equal to 1 .4th.
00:11
So i'm going to rewrite that term.
00:13
So i'm going to bring now the first one, 2 thirds x, but i'm going to rewrite the second one as 1 .4fax.
00:19
And it's still equal to x plus 2.
00:21
So the next thing i want to do is get rid of my fractions.
00:24
To do this, i just need to multiply both sides of our equation by our common denominator.
00:28
Well, the common denominator for two -thirds and one -fourth is 12.
00:33
So we're going to multiply both sides of our equation by 12...
