Answer 1

Answer:

X can equal 22.5

Step-by-step explanation:

I've set up the equation below:

$\frac{2}{3} +\frac{5}{x} =\frac{8}{9}$

With this equation, as any addition equation goes, we assume it to be like this:

A +  B = C

so

C - A = B

that means,

$\frac{8}{9} -\frac{2}{3} =\frac{5}{x}$

The easiest thing to do is to make 2/3 have the same denominator as 8/9, we do this by...

$\frac{2}{3} *\frac{3}{3} = \frac{6}{9}$

So...

$\frac{8}{9} -\frac{6}{9} =\frac{2}{9} =\frac{5}{x}$

We now know that 5 over x equals 2 over nine. We can determine x by cross multiplying as follows:

$\frac{5}{x} =\frac{2}{9} \\2x = 45\\x=22.5$

So, x is 22.5, making the equation indeed solvable.
