Question

How do you solve 6=x+2/3?? if you could please show some steps, that would amazing!

Answer 1

Answer:

On solving $6 = x+ \frac{2}{3}$  

The value of x = $5\frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve: $6 = x+ \frac{2}{3}$

Subtraction property of Equality states that Subtract the same number from both sides of the equation.

Subtract $\frac{2}{3}$ from both sides of the above equation:

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

On simplify we get;

$\frac{18-2}{3} =x$

⇒  $x = \frac{16}{3}$ or we can write it as $x= 5\frac{1}{3}$

Therefore, the value of x = $5\frac{1}{3}$
