Hello!
You solve this like an algebraic equation
You first distribute the 4 and 2
4x - 20 = 2x - 20 + 2x
Combine like terms
4x - 20 = 4x - 20
subtract 4x from both sides
-20 = 0x - 20
Add 20 to both sides
0 = 0
This means that there are infinite solutions to the equation.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
The first answer is correct I believe
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The answer is x = -17/6.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
5 1/3 + x = 2 1/2 . Using least common denominator.
Now, to solve the equation:


Subtracting both sides from 16/3 we get:

Now, the least common denominator of 2 and 3 is 6.
So, we using this we calculate:


Therefore, the answer is x = -17/6.
