Solve for x (1/2)x + (1/3)x = 1
To eliminate the fractions, you need to find a common denominator. The smallest common denominator possible is 6. If you multiple both sides by 6, you will have 3x+2x = 6. Now you can add like terms to get 5x = 6. To get the variable by itself you would divide by 5 to get an answer of x = 6/5 or 1.2

The correct answer is D. The nucleus of an atom only contains protons and neutrons. Since protons have a positive charge, and neutrons do not have a charge, the nucleus has a positive charge.
