Question

What is the answer to this equation 2/3x +7= 5

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{2}{3} x + 7 = 5\\\frac{2}{3} x = 5 - 7\\\frac{2}{3} x = -2\\x = -2 / \frac{2}{3}\\x = -2 * \frac{3}{2}\\x = -6/2\\x = -3$

Answer 2

Answer:

x= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3x+7=5

subtract 7  to both side (2/3x +7 -7) = 5-7

(2/3x +7 -7 = 5-7)= 2/3x= -2

then multiple by 3/2 on both sides 2/3x times 3/2 = -2 times 3/2

(2/3x times 3/2 = -2 times 3/2)= (x= -3)

3/2 times -2= -6/2 or -3
