Answer:
[tex]\large\boxed{x=\dfrac{27}{2}\to x=13\dfrac{1}{2}\to x=13.5}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\dfrac{2}{3}x-2=7\qquad\text{add 2 to both sides}\\\\\dfrac{2}{3}x-2+2=7+2\\\\\dfrac{2}{3}x=9\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 3}\\\\3\!\!\!\!\diagup^1\cdot\dfrac{2}{3\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}x=3\cdot9\\\\2x=27\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\\dfrac{2x}{2}=\dfrac{27}{2}\\\\x=\dfrac{27}{2}\to x=13\dfrac{1}{2}\to x=13.5[/tex]
