Question

Solve the equation 2/3x=-1/2x+5 what is the first step to isolate the variable term on one side of the equation

Answer 1

Answer:

$x=4\frac{2}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3x = - 1/2x + 5

2/3x + 1/2x = - 1/2x + 1/2x + 5

$1\frac{1}{6}x=5$

$\frac{1\frac{1}{6}x}{1\frac{1}{6} } =\frac{5}{1\frac{1}{6} }$

$x=4\frac{2}{7}$
