x= 1/6

Answer 2

Answer: 6

Step-by-step explanation:

$-\frac{2}{3}x+9=\frac{4}{3}x-3$

Subtract $\frac{4}{3}x$ from both sides to leave variables on the left.

$-\frac{4}{3}x-\frac{2}{3}x+9=\frac{4}{3}x-3-\frac{4}{3}x$

$-\frac{4}{3}x-\frac{2}{3}x+9=-3$

Now subtract 9 from both sides to isolate independent variables on the right.

$-\frac{4}{3}x-\frac{2}{3}x+9-9=-3-9$

$-\frac{4}{3}x-\frac{2}{3}x=-3-9$

Combine like terms;

$-\frac{6}{3}x=-12$

Simplify;

$-2x=-12$

To completely isolate x, divide by -2

$\frac{-2x}{-2}=\frac{-12}{-2}$

$x=6$
