Question

2/3x-7=17 some help plssss!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Process:

2/3x -7 = 17
17 + 7 = 24
2/3x = 24

2/3 = 24/x
24 ÷ 2 = 12
12 x 3 = 36
x = 36



Answer: X = 36

Answer 2

2/3x - 7 = 17

First add 7 to both sides because that's the inverse

2/3x -7 = 17

       +7   +7

2/3x = 24

Then you multiply the remaining numbers by 3 because that's the inverse of division

3(2/3x) = 3(24)

2x = 72

Then you divide by 2 to get the x alone

2x = 72

----   ----

2      2

x = 36

That's your answer
