Question

What is the answer to this equation 2/3x +7= 5

Answer 1

x= -3

Explanation:

2/3x+7=5

subtract 7 to both side (2/3x +7 -7) = 5-7

(2/3x +7 -7 = 5-7)= 2/3x= -2

then multiple by 3/2 on both sides 2/3x times 3/2 = -2 times 3/2

(2/3x times 3/2 = -2 times 3/2)= (x= -3)

3/2 times -2= -6/2 or -3

Answer 2

x = -3

Explanation:

`(2)/(3) x + 7 = 5\\(2)/(3) x = 5 - 7\\(2)/(3) x = -2\\x = -2 / (2)/(3)\\x = -2 * (3)/(2)\\x = -6/2\\x = -3`
