Answer:

x = 33

Explanation:

Subtract x from both sides.

1/3 - x = x - 22 - x

= -2/3 = -22

Multiply both sides by 3/-2

(3/-2) • (-2/3x) = (3/-2) • (-22)

You would get...

x = 33

Answer:

x=33

Explanation:

13x=x−22

Step 1: Subtract x from both sides.

13x−x=x−22−x

−23x=−22

Step 2: Multiply both sides by 3/(-2).

(3−2)*(−23x)=(3−2)*(−22)

x=33

Answer:

x=33
