Question

2/3x - 2 = 7 need help please I aint that good at math

Answer 1

`\large\boxed{x=(27)/(2)\to x=13(1)/(2)\to x=13.5}`

Explanation:

`(2)/(3)x-2=7\qquad\text{add 2 to both sides}\\\\(2)/(3)x-2+2=7+2\\\\(2)/(3)x=9\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 3}\\\\3\!\!\!\!\diagup^1\cdot(2)/(3\!\!\!\!\diagup_1)x=3\cdot9\\\\2x=27\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\(2x)/(2)=(27)/(2)\\\\x=(27)/(2)\to x=13(1)/(2)\to x=13.5`
