Can someone help me solve the equation 3 over x plus 1 over 2 equals 1 over 3?

So your equation is 3/x + 1/2 = 1/3 right? First, you have to subtract 1/2 from both sides. 1/3 and 1/2 have to have the same denominator to be added or subtracted, so 1/3 becomes 2/6 and 1/2 becomes 3/6. 2/6 - 3/6 = -1/6 .
Now you have 3/x = -1/6. Cross multiply and you get 18 = -x. Therefore, x = -18.
Hope that helps

How do you solve math equations like from 2 to 5?
In a math equation, something equals something else. You haven't given any equation to work with. I'm thinking you're looking to find 'x' when 'y' equals 2, when 'y' equals 3, etc. But we need some more info to help you.

It combines like terms and results in the least amount if variables to solve for
Can you help solve 3-x equals 12x-1?
3 - x = 12x - 1 Add x to both sides of the equation: 3 = 13x - 1 Add 1 to both sides of the equation: 4 = 13x Divide both sides of the equation by 13: 4/13 = X
X plus y plus z equals 9 and x plus 2y plus 3z equals 23 and x plus 5y-3Z equals -7 solve for x and y and z?

Can anyone help solve this equation 5x y equals 10?
Nobody can help you find a solution until you get another equation to go along with this one. Your equation has two variables in it ... 'x' and 'y' ... so it has no unique solution all by itself.
