Question

Solve the equation for x. 2/3x-1/9x+5=20

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming the equation looks like this:

$\frac{2}{3}x-\frac{1}{9}x+5=20$

Here's how to solve for x:

$\frac{2}{3}x-\frac{1}{9}x+5=20$

(subtract 5 from both sides)

$\frac{2}{3}x-\frac{1}{9}x=15$

(Find the GCF of 3 and 9, which is 3. Multiply 2/3 by 3/3. You get 6/9)

$\frac{6}{9}x-\frac{1}{9}x=15$

(add like terms)

$\frac{5}{9}x=15$

(multiply 9/5 to both sides, which is the same as dividing both sides by 5/9)

x = 27
