Question

What is the solution to 2(-4x+1)=2/3(x+2)

Answer 1

Hello!

The answer to your problem is: $x=1/13$

Simplify both sides of the equation

$(2)(-4x)+(2)(1)=(2/3)(x)+(2/3)(2)$ $(Distribute)$

$-8x+2=2/3x+4/3$

Subtract 2/3x from both sides

$-8x+2-2/3x=2/3+4/3-2/3x$

$-26x+2=4/3$

Subtract 2 from both sides

$-26/3x+2-2=4/3-2$

$-26/3=-2/3$

Multiply both sides by 3/(-26)

$(3/26)*(-26/3x)=(3/-26)*(-2/3)$

Get your answer

$x=1/13$
