Axes can be speed - time or distance - time (usually the 2nd one in maths). JT Hi Anastasia,

You can check your answer by putting it back into the equation: 20/10 = 2 20/5 = 4 4 + 2 = 6 so your answer works 8-) Well done Tallulah – that’s correct.

Thank you very much :)
x/10 + x/5 = 6
x/10 + 2x/10 = 6
3x/10 = 6
3x = 6 X 10
3x = 60
x = 60/3
x = 20

Is this correct??

One way would be to get all the terms over a common denominator. 6 can be made to look like a fraction by writing it over 1 (which won't change its value so that's OK) Then change the fractions to equivalent fractions, each one over 10. Once their denominators are the same you can form a new equation using just the tops and then solve it. Have a go and then come back to check your answer. JT Hi Tallulah,
