Hope this helps!!!!! And btw tell John to give me some of them apples lol XD
2/3x -14/3 = -2 -foiled
2/3x = -6/3 +14/3 -common denominator
2/3x = 8/3
x = 8/3 * 3/2
x = 24/6
x= 4
Solve for x. Isolate the x. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.
First, multiply 3 to both sides
6(3) = ((x + 2)/3)(3)
18 = x + 2
Finally, isolate the x. Subtract 2 from both sides
18 (-2) = x + 2 (-2)
x = 18 - 2
x = 16
16 is your answer for x
hope this helps
