Answer:

5.33333

Explanation:

Given:

x + (9)/(2) - 5x - (6)/(3) = 4x - (-3)/(3)
Make the denominators Equal


(6x + 27-30x-12)/(6) = (24 + 6)/(6)

(-24x + 15)/(6) = (24x+6)/(6)

Cross- Multiply :


6(-24x + 15) = 6(24x + 6)

-144x + 90 = 144x + 36

90 - 36 = 144x + 144x

54 = 288x

x = (288)/(54) = 5.3333

Hope it helps.
