First, apply the distribution property of multiplication. 1/2x - 2 = 1/3x + 2/3 Then, isolate x. To do this, subtract 1/2x on both sides and subtract 2/3 from both sides. -2 - 2/3 = 1/3x - 1/2x Make them the same denominator. The left side's denominator is 3 and the right side's denominator is 6. -6/3 - 2/3 = 2/6x - 3/6x Subtract. -8/3 = -1/6x Multiply both sides by -6 to get rid of the denominator on x. -8/3 * -6 = -1/6x * -6 48/3 = x 16 = x Your answer is 16.
Well... 2x-6x>-12+8-6 -4x>-10 Attention! ">" change for "<" because we multiply both members for (-1) x<10/4 It is the same to say (-infinite ; 10/4) or (-infinite ; 5/2) or (-infinite ; 2.5) Good luck! M.
