Question

solve for x. 2/3(3x−4)+3x=5/6

Answer 1

Answer:

2/3 ( 3x - 4 ) + 3x = 5/6

2x - 8/3 + 3x = 5/6

5x - 8/3 = 5/6

6(5x -8/3) = 6x5/6

30x - 16 = 5

      +16    +16

30x = 21

   30

x = 21/30

x = 0.7

Step-by-step explanation:

1. distribute the bracket by 2/3
2. combine like-terms
3. multiply both sides by 6 (lcm of 3 and 6)
4. add 16 to both sides
5. divide both sides by 30 to get x
