Answer:
-9/2; third graph
Step-by-step explanation:
-17 + (1/3)x = - 18 1/2 is to be solved for x.
First, identify the LCD: It is 6. Multiply all terms by 6:
-102 + 2x = -111
Next, add 102 to both sides, to isolate the 2x term:
2x = -111 + 102 = -9
Finally, divide both sides by 2, obtaining
x = -9/2
This is shown in the third graph.
