Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3(x - 7) = -2....distribute the 2/3 thru the parenthesis

2/3x - 14/3 = -2 ....if u want to get rid of the fractions, multiply by the common denominator of 3, and u get :

2x - 14 = -6 ....add 14 to both sides

2x = -6 + 14

2x = 8 ....divide by 2

x = 8/2....reduce

x = 4 <=====

check it..

2/3(x - 7) = -2

2/3(4 - 7) = -2

2/3 (-3) = -2

-6/3 = -2

-2 = -2 (correct)....it checks out :)

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{2}{3}(x - 7) = - 2

Multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction

2(x - 7) = - 6 ← distribute left side

2x - 14 = - 6 ( add 14 to both sides )

2x = 8 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 4

A bedroom garbage can weighed 3/4 of a pound. A bathroom garbage can weighed 1/4 of a pound. Which is more
vivado [14]
3/4 of a pound. Why? 1/4 & 3/4 have the same denominator so you just compare the numerators. 3 is obviously bigger then 1 so there is your answer. If you were thinking about let's say cakes it would be the other way around. Would you rather share it with 3 people and get small pieces or share it with 1, which can basically be yourself.
