Question

How do you solve this equation: 2/3x-5/8x=26

Answer 1

First, multiply all fractions by 2.
3x-10/8x=52
Then multiply all sides by -10.
-30x + 8x = -520
-22x = -520
Divide both sides by -22.
x=23.6363

Answer 2

Answer:

The value of the provided equation is $x=624$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided equation.

$\frac{2}{3}-\frac{5}{8}x=26$

Solve the above equation as shown below.

$\frac{16x-15x}{24}=26$

$\frac{x}{24}=26$

Multiply both side by 24.

$\frac{x}{24}\times 24=26\times 24$

$x=624$

Hence, the value of the provided equation is $x=624$.
