Question

PLEASE HELP ME IM GIVING 5 STAR RATINGSfor what value do the expressions negative 5/3 x + 3 and 1/3 x - 3 have the same value?

Answer 1

EXPLANATION

Given the expressions:

(1) -5/3x + 3

(2) 1/3x - 3

Equaling both equation will give us the same value as follows:

-5/3x + 3 = 1/3x - 3

Subtracting 1/3x to both sides:

-5/3x -1/3x +3 = 1/3x - 1/3x -3

Subtrating -3 to both sides:

-5/3x -1/3x +3 - 3= -3 -3

Adding like terms:

-2x = -6

Dividing both sides by -2:

x= -6/-2

Simplifying:

x= 3

Answer: Both equations have the same value at x=3rms:
