Question

What is 2/3(9+x)=5(4-x)

Answer 1

$\frac{2}{3}$(9+x)=5(4−x)Simplify: 
($\frac{2}{3}$)(9)+($\frac{2}{3}$)(x)=(5)(4)+(5)(−x)(Distribute)
6+$\frac{2}{3}$x=20+−5x$\frac{2}{3}$x+6=−5x+20
Step 2: Add 5x to both sides.
$\frac{2}{3}$x+6+5x=−5x+20+5x
$\frac{17}{3}$x+6=20
Step 3: Subtract 6 from both sides.$\frac{17}{3}$x+6−6=20−6$\frac{17}{3}$x=14

Step 4: Multiply both sides by $\frac{3}{17}$.
($\frac{3}{17} )$ · ($\frac{17}{3}x )$ = ($\frac{3}{17}$)·(14) 
 Answer = ($\frac{42}{17}$

Answer 2
