Write the division as a fraction
2/3x - 8 = 9
Multiply both sides of the equation by 3
2x-24=27
Move the constant to the right and change the sign
2x=27+24
Add the numbers
2x=51
Divide both sides by 2
2x/2=51/2
X= 25.5
(3x+4)+(5x2-1)+(2x+6)
remove unnecessary parenthesis
3x+4+(5x2-1)+(2x+6)
3x+4+(10-1)+2x+6
subtract the numbers
3x+4+9+2x+6
collect the like terms
5x+4+4+9+6
5x+19
I would go with the answer B
Answer:
The first step is to find a number that when subtracted from 2 gives you 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
The algebraic part of this problem would be to add the -2 (adding 2 to both sides) to both sides, so
first x-2=2, then x-2(+2)=2(+2) which would give us,
x=4
*note: the parenthesis are just to show that we are adding the 2, to make it more understandable.
