Question

6 - 2/3 (x+5) = 4x solve algebraically for the exact value of x

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1 - Rewrite

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

2 - Distribute

6 - 2/3x + 10/3 = 4x

3 - Combine like terms and get x alone

6 10/3 - 2/3x = 4x

           +2/3x  +2/3x

          6 10/3 = 4 2/3x

------------------------------- Convert to decimals

6.3333333333.... = 4.333...x

-------------------------------- Divide both sides by 4.33...x

2 = x
