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

3 - 4 x 2 The first step to evaluate the expression is ...
sveticcg [70]

To find these out you have to use the strategy of P (parenthesis) E (exponents) M (multiplication) D (division) A (addition) S (subtraction)

3 - 4 x 2 The first thing you need to do is do the multiplication part first, since subtraction is the last thing you need to do. You multiply 4 and 2 and get the answer of 8, then subtract 3 which is 5

5 x 3 - 4 The first thing you need to do is multiplication 5 x 3 which equals 15 and then do 15 - 4 = 11

15 ÷ (3 x 5) x 2 The first thing you do is you do the P (parenthesis) which is (3x5) which equals 15. Then you multiply 15 with 2 which is 30 and then divide 30 with 15 which is 2

5 + 3 x 2 ÷ 6 First you need to do the Multiplication which is 3 x 2 which equals 6, and then you do the division, which is 6 ÷ 6 which is 1. Then add 5 to the 1 which is 6.
