Question

Which value for x makes the sentence true?2/3x + 4 = 7

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

To find the value of x that makes the sentence true, we first subtract 4 form both sides to get

$\frac{2}{3}x+4-4=7-4$$\frac{2}{3}x=3$

multiplying both sides by 3 gives

$\frac{2}{3}x\cdot3=3\cdot3$$2x=9$

Finally, dividing both sides by 2 gives

$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{9}{2}$$x=\frac{9}{2}$

which is our answer!

Hence, the value of 9/2 for x makes the statement true.
