2/3x + 4 = 7
-4 -4
4 cancels out.
2/3x = 3
x 3 x3
6/3 = 2x = 9
/2 /2
2 cancels out.
x = 9/2 = 4.5

two-thirds: (2)/(3) \\ number: b \\ plus: + (add) \\ 4: 4 \\ is: equal (to) \\ 7:7 \\ \\ \\ \\ Problem: (2b)/(3) + 4 = 7

Finding our answer (if we had to solve it as well)↓


(2)/(3)b + 4 - 4 \\ 7 - 4 = 3


(2)/(3)b = 3


(3)/(2) ( (2)/(3)) (← cancel this out because that would give you a
1 by itself
(3)/(2) (3) = (9)/(2)


Answer: B = (9)/(2)
