Question

Can someone help me solve this step by step? tyyyy

Answer 1

Answer:

x=4/7

Step-by-step explanation:

6 - 2/3(x+5) = 4x

First I want to clear the fraction so I will multiply everything by 3

3*6 -3* 2/3(x+5) = 3*4x

18 - 2(x+5) =12x

Distribute

18 - 2x-10 =12x

Combine like terms

8 -2x = 12x

Add 2x to each side

8 -2x+2x =12x+2x

8 = 14x

Divide each side by 14

8/14 =14x/14

8/14=x

Divide top and bottom by 2

4/7=x
