Question

−2 (x + 1/3) + 9x = 4

Answer 1

`\sf \large \: x = (2)/(3)`

Explanation:

−2(x+1/3)+9x=4

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−2(x+1/3)+9x=4

(−2)(x)+(−2)(1/3)+9x=4(Distribute)

−2x+−2/3+9x=4

(−2x+9x)+(−2/3)=4(Combine Like Terms)

7x+−2/3=4

7x+−2/3=4

Step 2: Add 2/3 to both sides.

7x+−2/3+2/3=4+2/3

7x=14/3

Step 3: Divide both sides by 7.

7x/7 = 14/3/7

x=2/3

Answer 2

X= 2/3

Explanation:

-2(x+1/3)+9x=4

Distribute: -2x-2/3+9x=4

Combine: 7x=14/3 ----- 4/1+2/3=12/3+2/3=14/3

Clear the fraction: 21x=14 ------- 7·3x=14/3·3/1

Divide: X=2/3 ------ 14/21÷ 7/7=2/3

X=2/3 Hope This Helps :)
