Question

What is the value of x 2/3x+2=4

Answer 1

Solving for x in Algebraic Equations

To solve for x, we can perform inverse operations to cancel values out.

• For addition, we can do subtraction.
• For multiplication, we can do division.
• And vise versa.

Eventually, we must isolate x to one side of the equal sign, or equation. That will give us its value.

Solving the Question

$\dfrac{2}{3}x+2=4$

⇒ First, isolate the x term by subtracting 2 from both sides:

$\dfrac{2}{3}x=2$

⇒ Now, multiply both sides by 3 to get rid of the fraction:

$2x=6$

⇒ Finally, divide both sides by 2 to isolate x:

$x=3$

Answer

$x=3$
