Question

Solve the two-step equation. − 2 3 x – 21 4 = 27 4

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to assume that the problem is -23x -214 = 274

And in that case...

1. First isolate the x-value by adding 214 to both sides of the equation:

-23x = 488

2. Then, divide both sides by -23 to truly get x alone:

x = $-\frac{488}{23}$ or -21.22

Answer 2

Answer:

 x = -18

Add the opposite of the constant on the left:

 -2/3x = 21/4 +27/4 = 48/4 = 12

Multiply the equation by the inverse of the coefficient of x:

 x = (-3/2)(12) = -18

The solution is x = -18.
