5(x + 2/3) = 3x - 2/3.....distribute the 5 through the parenthesis
5x + 10/3 = 3x - 2/3 ....subtract 3x from both sides
5x - 3x + 10/3 = 3x - 3x - 2/3...combine like terms
2x + 10/3 = - 2/3 ....subtract 10/3 from both sides
2x + 10/3 - 10/3 = -2/3 - 10/3...simplify
2x = - 12/3....reduce
2x = - 4....divide both sides by 2
x = -4/2....reduces to -2

or this way...
5(x + 2/3) = 3x - 2/3.....distribute
5x + 10/3 = 3x - 2/3....multiply by lowest common denominator of 3
15x + 10 = 9x - 2 ....subtract 9x from both sides
15x - 9x + 10 = -2 ...subtract 10 from both sides
6x + 10 - 10 = -2 - 10...simplify
6x = -12.....divide both sides by 6
x = -12/6 reduces to -2

3x+10=4x+10 what is the answer?
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

x is 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

 Subtract both sides by 3x. Then, you will have 10= x+10. Subtract 10 on both sides to isolate x, then you will have x=0. Therefore, this equation on both sides has a solution of 0. Hope this helps!

−5y+3x=3<br> −8y+9x=−12<br> ​<br> What is X and Y please.
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

( -4, -3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve by elimination. Reason being there are no variables without coefficients.

−5y+3x=3     Multiply equation by 3. Each term.  

−8y+9x=−12

-15y + 9x = 9       Subtract the to equations

-8y  + 9x = -12

___________

-7y = 21

y = -3

Substitute y into original equation

-5(-3) + 3x = 3

15 + 3x = 3            Subtract 15 both sides

3x = -12                 Divide by 3, both sides

x = -4
