Answer:
x = 0.9
Explanation:
4x + 9 / 2 1/3 = 3x / 0.5
Note 2 1/3 is equivalent to 7/3
Therefore, the equation becomes
4x + 9 / (7/3) = 3x / 0.5
Cross multiply,
0.5(4x + 9) = 3x(7/3)
Open/Remove the brackets,
= 2x + 4.5 = 21x/3
Again, cross multiply,
3(2x + 4.5) = 21x
6x + 13.5 = 21x
Carrying 6x to the other side,
13.5 = 21x - 6x
13.5 = 15x
Divide both sides by 15,
x = 13.5/15
x = 0.9
