Question

1/2-1/3x=-4 solve the equation

Answer 1

x=27/2

Explanation:

1/2-1/3x=-4

subtract 1/2 from both sides

1/2+-1/3x -1/2=-4 -1/2

Group like terms

-1/3 ⋅ x +1/2+(-1/2)=-4 -1/2

Combine the fractions

-1/3 ⋅ x+0=-4 -1/2

Convert the integer into a fraction

-1/3 ⋅ x=-8/2 -1/2

Combine.

-1/3 ⋅ x= -9/2

Isolate the x:

-1/3x ⋅ 3/-1= -9/2 ⋅ 3/-1

1x=-9/2 ⋅ 3/-1

x= -9 ⋅ -3/2

x=27/2 as your answer
