Question

The value of x in the expression
2x/3 - 7 = 5 is

Answer 1

The answer is X = 18

Explanation:

2x/3 - 7 = 5

Multiply both sides if the equation by 3 : 2x - 21 = 15

Move the constant to the right hand side and change its sign : 2x = 15 + 21

Calculate 2x = 15 + 21

2x = 36

Divide both sides of the eqaution by 2 : 2x = 36

x = 18

Answer X = 18
