Question

ANSWER FOR BRAINIEST!!!

How do you answer this and what did I do incorrectly?

Answer 1

Answer:

x=5$\frac{16}{3}$/(4-$\frac{16}{3}$)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, these are not my strong point, Sorry if its incorrect.

6-$\frac{2}{3}$(x+5)=4x

I first did 6-$\frac{2}{3}$

6/1 -2/3,  18/3-2/3 =16/3

$\frac{16}{3}$(x+5)=4x

I then expanded the bracket to get $\frac{16}{3}$x+5$\frac{16}{3}$

$\frac{16}{3}$x+5$\frac{16}{3}$=4x

Then I took away $\frac{16}{3}$x from both sides to get.

5$\frac{16}{3}$=4x-$\frac{16}{3}$x

I then factorised x out

5$\frac{16}{3}$=x(4-$\frac{16}{3}$)

I then divided by the bracket to get:

x=5$\frac{16}{3}$/(4-$\frac{16}{3}$)

Answer 2

Answer:

4/7

Step-by-step explanation:

$6 - \frac{2}{3} (x + 5) = 4x$

U take -2/3 into the brackets

$6 - \frac{2}{3} x - \frac{10}{3} = 4x$

Put all values with x on one side

$6 - \frac{10}{3} = 4x + \frac{2}{3} x$

Ensure that they all have the same denominator so that u can add and subtract

$\frac{18}{3} - \frac{10}{3} = \frac{12}{3} x + \frac{2}{3} x$

$\frac{8}{3} = \frac{14}{3} x$

Drop the denominator since they both have the same denominator

$8 = 14x$

divide both sides by 14

$\frac{8}{14} = \frac{14}{14} x$

$x = \frac{4}{7}$
