Question

- 2/3 (x+12)+2/3 x=-5/4 x+2

Answer 1

We will have the following:

$-\frac{2}{3}(x+12)+\frac{2}{3}x=-\frac{5}{4}x+2\Rightarrow-\frac{2}{3}x-8+\frac{2}{3}x=-\frac{5}{4}x+2$$\Rightarrow-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{5}{4}x=2+8\Rightarrow\frac{5}{4}x=10$$\Rightarrow5x=40\Rightarrow x=8$

So, the value of x is 8.
