Question

Two thirds plus a number plus 4 is 7

Answer 1

9/2 is the answer


7-4= 3
3times 3/2 is 9/2

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is $\frac{7}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the answer, we have to express the statement to a algebraic expression.

The "two thirds" means $\frac{2}{3}$.

Then "plus a number" means $+x$. "x" is the variable that we want to know its value.

Then "plus 4" means +4.

So, the algebraic expression is:

$\frac{2}{3}+x+4=7$

Then, we have to solve for "x". We free this variable in any side of the equation:

$x=-\frac{2}{3}+7-4\\x=\frac{-2+9}{3}\\x=\frac{7}{3}$

Finally, the "x" value is $\frac{7}{3}$
