Question

What is 2x-5/3=7? Plz help!

Answer 1

Hello! And thank you for your question!

First add 5/3 to both sides:

2x = 7 + 5/3

Then simplify 7 + 5/3:

2x = 26/3

Then divide both sides by 2:

x = 26/3 over 2

After that simplify 26/3/2:

x = 26 over 3 x 2

Simplify 3 x 2:

x = 26/6

Simplify:

x = 13/3 or 4 1/3

Final Answer:

x = 13/3 or 4 1/3
