The value of x that could be used to clear fractions in the equation is 32/21. option B

What is the value of x?


(7)/(2)x - (1)/(3) = 5

Add 1/3 to both sides


(7)/(2)x = 5 + (1)/(3)


(7)/(2)x = ((15 + 1))/(3)


(7)/(2)x = (16)/(3)

Divide both sides by 7/2


= (16)/(3) / (7)/(2)

Multiply by the reciprocal of 7/2


= (16)/(3) * (2)/(7)

x = 32/21

Therefore, x equals 32/21

Complete question:

A. 8/3 B. 32/21 C. 21/32 D. 3/8
