Question

Can someone please help mee.

use transformations to solve the equation.

3 2/3x = 22

Answer 1

1. Note that

`3(2)/(3)=(3\cdot 3+2)/(3)=(9+2)/(3)=(11)/(3).`

2. Then the equation
`3(2)/(3)x=22` can be rewritten

`(11)/(3)x=22.`

3. Solve it:

`x=22:(11)/(3),\\ \\x=22\cdot (3)/(11)=2\cdot 3=6.`

Answer: x=6
