Question

How do you solve 6=x+2/3?? if you could please show some steps, that would amazing!

Answer 1

On solving
`6 = x+ (2)/(3)`

The value of x =
`5(1)/(3)`

Explanation:

Solve:
`6 = x+ (2)/(3)`

Subtraction property of Equality states that Subtract the same number from both sides of the equation.

Subtract
`(2)/(3)` from both sides of the above equation:

`6-(2)/(3) = x+(2)/(3)-(2)/(3)`

On simplify we get;

`(18-2)/(3) =x`

⇒
`x = (16)/(3)` or we can write it as
`x= 5(1)/(3)`

Therefore, the value of x =
`5(1)/(3)`
