Answer:
X=2/3=0.66
Explanation:
To solve this problem, first, you have to isolate it on one side of the equation. Isolate x on one side of the equation.
DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY:
A(B+C)=AB+AC
A(B-C)=AB-AC
-2(x+1/3)+9x=4
-2(x+1/3)+9x (First, expand by using with distributive property.)
-2(x+1/3)+9x=7x-2/3
7x-2/3=4 (Rewrite the equation problem.)
7x-2/3+2/3=4+2/3 (Add 2/3 from both sides.)
4+2/3 (Solve.)
4+2/3=14/3
7x=14/3
7x/7=14/3/7 (Then, divide by 7 from both sides.)
14/3/7 (Solve.)
14/3/7=2/3
2/3=0.66
x=2/3=0.66
The final answer is x=2/3=0.66.
