Answer:

x = 2

Explanation:

7
(1)/(3) x - 5
(1)/(2) = 4x + 1
(1)/(6) ( change mixed numbers to improper fractions )


(22)/(3) x -
(11)/(2) = 4x +
(7)/(6)

multiply through by 6 ( the LCM of 3, 2, 6 ) to clear the fractions

44x - 33 = 24x + 7 ( subtract 24x from both sides )

20x - 33 = 7 ( add 33 to both sides )

20x = 40 ( divide both sides by 20 )

x = 2
