Question

I don't understand what I am supposed to do after I combine terms

Answer 1

I think you have to put all the fractions on one side of the equation and the x-terms on the other side. But I don't see an option for that...

Answer 2

x = -
`(2)/(3)`

Explanation:

`(2)/(3)` - 4x +
`(7)/(2)` = - 9x +
`(5)/(6)`

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

4 - 24x + 21 = - 54x + 5 , that is

25 - 24x = - 54x + 5 ( add 54x to both sides )

25 + 30x = 5 ( subtract 25 from both sides )

30x = - 20 ( divide both sides by 30 )

x =
`(-20)/(30)` = -
`(2)/(3)`
