Answer:

B. 1/2

Explanation:

Our equation:

2/3x + 2 = 2 1/3

Let's isolate x to find our value:

Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation.

2/3x = 1/3

Multiply both sides of the equation by 3/2, or 1/5:

(This is used to make x = 1)

x = 1/2

B. 1/2 is your correct option.

Answer: B. 1/2

Isolate the variable by diving each side by factors that don’t contain the variable.

1. Subtract 2
2/3x+ 2 = 2 1/3
-2 -2

2. Divide 2/3
2/3X = 1/3
2/3 2/3

3. X = 1/2
