Question

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

Answer 1

$\frac{1}{2}x +5 = -\frac{2}{3} x +\frac{1}{2} \\\frac{1}{2} x + \frac{2}{3} x = \frac{1}{2}-5\\ \frac{7}{6} x=-\frac{9}{2} \\x=-\frac{54}{14} =-\frac{27}{7}$

Hope that helped!

Hi dear!!

$\small\boxed{\sf{\sf\red{{\: x = \sf\ \:{{\: \frac{ - 27}{7} }}}}}}$

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

Step 1: Add 2/3x to both sides.

Step 2: Subtract 5 from both sides.

$\frac{7}{6} x + 5 - 5 = \frac{1}{2} - 5$

Step 3: Multiply both sides by 6/7.

$( \frac{6}{7} )*( \frac{7}{6} x) = (\frac{6}{7} )*( \frac{ - 9}{2} )$

So thr answer is

x=-27/7
