Question

What is 2/3(9+x)=5(4-x)

Answer 1

`(2)/(3)`(9+x)=5(4−x)Simplify:
(
`(2)/(3)`)(9)+(
`(2)/(3)`)(x)=(5)(4)+(5)(−x)(Distribute)
6+
`(2)/(3)`x=20+−5x
`(2)/(3)`x+6=−5x+20
Step 2: Add 5x to both sides.

`(2)/(3)`x+6+5x=−5x+20+5x

`(17)/(3)`x+6=20
Step 3: Subtract 6 from both sides.
`(17)/(3)`x+6−6=20−6
`(17)/(3)`x=14

Step 4: Multiply both sides by
`(3)/(17)`.
(
`(3)/(17) )` · (
`(17)/(3)x )` = (
`(3)/(17)`)·(14)
Answer = (
`(42)/(17)`
