Answer 1

Answer: 22/3

Step-by-step explanation:

So, the first step is to add 9/2 to both sides. We cant do that unless there is a common denominator between -8/3 and 9/2. I will leave the 1/4 alone because we will have to divide that later. When you divide a fraction, you multiply by the reciprocal, which doesnt require a change in denominator. That is my reason for not changing the 1/4.

The common denominator of the two would be 6.

$-\frac{16}{6} =\frac{1}{4}x-\frac{27}{6}$

Add the 27/6 to both sides

$\frac{11}{6}=\frac{1}{4}x$

Divide the 1/4 to both sides

$x=\frac{11}{6}*\frac{4}{1} =\frac{44}{6}= \frac{22}{3}$
