Answer:

The value of x for the given expression is (95/27)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given expression is:

$\frac{1}{5} x + \frac{1}{3} = 3(\frac{2}{3}x -2)$

Now here solving for the value of x , we get

$\frac{1}{5} x + \frac{1}{3} = 3(\frac{2}{3}x) -6\\\implies\frac{1}{5} x + \frac{1}{3} = 2x -6$

Now, taking the variable terms on 1 side, we get

$\frac{1}{5} x - 2x = -6 - \frac{1}{3} \\\implies\frac{x - 10x}{5} = -(\frac{6(3) +1}{3} )$

or, $\frac{-9x}{5} = -\frac{19}{3} \implies x = \frac{19}{3} \times\frac{5}{9} = \frac{95}{27}$

Hence, the value of x = (95/27)

We need to use rational root theorem to find out roots here.

The rational root theorem states that if p(x) is a polynomial with integer coefficients and if $\frac{p}{q}$ is a zero of p(x) then p is a factor of constant term and q is a factor of leasing term coefficient.

Here factors of constant term are 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24,-1,-2,-3,-4,-6,-8,-12, and -24.

And factors of leading coefficient is -1,1.

Hence possible roots may be -1,1,-2,2,-3,3,-4,4,-6,6,-8,8,-12,12,-24 and 24.

Let us plugin these in f(x) to find zeroes.

$f(-1)=(-1)^{4}+10(-1)^{3}+35(-1)^{2}+50(-1)+24 =1-10+35-50+24=0$

Hence x=-1 is a zero which means x-(-1)=x+1 is a factor.

Let us use synthetic division to find quotient.

-1 | 1 10 35 50 24

| 0 -1 -9 -26 -24

1 9 26 24 0

Hence quotient is $x^{3} +9x^{2} +26x+24$

Since all coefficients are positive, root must be negative. Let's plugin all remaining negative numbers in the quotient.

$(-2)^{3}+9(-2)^{2}+26(-2)+24 = 0$

Hence x+2 is another factor.

Let us find quotient again using synthetic division.

-2 | 1 9 26 24

| 0 -2 -14 -24

1 7 12 0

Hence quotient is $x^{2} +7x+12$

Again we got quotient with all positive coefficients, let us plugin remaining negative numbers from rational root theorem.

$(-3)^{2}+7(-3)+12=-9-21+12=0$

Hence x+3 is also a factor.

Let us find quotient using synthetic division.

-3 | 1 7 12

| 0 -3 -12

1 4 0

Hence quotient is x+4.

So, $f(x)=x^{4}+10x^{3}+35x^{2}+50x+24 =(x+1)(x+2)(x+3)(x+4)$

The linear equation is y = 4x - 4

And the graph of the linear equation can be seen in the image below.

<h3>How to graph the last line?</h3>

It seems that you already are good at graphing, so I will try to explain how to find the equation more in detail.

Remember that a general linear equation is written as:

y = a*x + b

Where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

In this case, we know that the y-intercept is -4, then b = -4, replacing that we get:

y = a*x - 4

Now we also can see that this line passes through the point (2, 4), this means that if we evaluate in x = 2, the outcome should be y = 4, replacing that we get:

4 = a*2 - 4

4 + 4 = a*2

8 = a*2

8/2 = a = 4

Then the slope is 4, and the linear equation is:

y = 4x - 4

The graph is below.
