Question

Can you solve 4 + 2/3 x = -5 in fraction form?

Answer 1

`(-27)/(2) = (-13)((1)/(2))`

Explanation:

The given equation is 4 + 2/3 x = -5

Taking variable on one side and constants on other side, we get

`-9 = ((2)/(3))(x)`

`x = ((3)/(2))(-9) = (-27)/(2) </strong></p><p><strong>= (-13)((1)/(2)) = -13.5`

The number in decimal form is given by -13.5

The number in fraction form is given as
`(-27)/(2) = (-13)((1)/(2))`
