Question

Can you solve 4 + 2/3 x = -5 in fraction form?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{-27}{2} = (-13)(\frac{1}{2})$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is 4 + 2/3 x = -5

Taking variable on one side and constants on other side, we get

$-9 = (\frac{2}{3})(x)$

$x = (\frac{3}{2})(-9) = \frac{-27}{2} = (-13)(\frac{1}{2}) = -13.5$

The number in decimal form is given by -13.5

The number in fraction form is given as $\frac{-27}{2} = (-13)(\frac{1}{2})$
