Question

13 - 3/2x = 37


Find the value of x

Answer 1

x= - 16

Explanation:

`13-(3)/(2)x=37\\-(3)/(2)x=24\\x=24(-(2)/(3))\\x=-16`

you start off by subtracting 13 from both sides

then you divide both sides by -3\2 or simply multiply by -2\3 because when you divide by a fraction you are multiplying by the reciprocal

these steps leave you with the answer x= -16
