Being asked to solve the given equation.
00:02
Well, i say we have fractions and decimals, but for that decimal, it's 0 .25, that's just equal to 1 .4.
00:08
So i'm going to rewrite this as 2 thirds x plus 1 .4x equals x plus 2.
00:15
So now, to get rid of our fractions, i'm going to multiply both sides of our equation by our common denominator, which is 12.
00:23
So now, when we distribute on the left, 12 times 2 thirds x, that's 8x, and 12 times 1 .4fx is positive 3x.
00:32
On the right -hand side, 12 times x is 12x, and 12 times 2 is 24.
00:39
Now, i see we have, oh, i forgot the x here...
