Answer 1

Answer:

5 1/3 x+8 1/2 =3 1/3 ?

the correct answer is -1.774

Step-by-step explanation:

51/3x + 81/2=31/3 In order to find x, we follow BODMAS rule

so we have,[ 51/3] x + 81/2 =31/3

we have   51x/3 + 81/2=31/3

we collect the like terms;

51x/3= 31/3- 81/2

finding the lcm

51x/3= 2[31} - 3{81}/6

51x/3= 62-243/6

51x/3= -181\6

by using cross multiplication

we have;

6{51x}= 3{-181}

306x = -543

divide both sides by 306

we have;

x = - 1.774

check your answer from

306x=-543

306{-1.774}= -543

-543= -543
