Question

8/3x-2=2/3x-12
The / is a fraction sign.

Answer 1

x=−5

Explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

8/3 x−2 = 2/3 x−12

Step 1: Subtract 2/3x from both sides.

8/ 3 x−2−2/3 x=2/3 x−12−2/3x

2x−2=−12

Step 2: Add 2 to both sides.

2x−2+2=−12+2

2x=−10

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

2x/2 = −10/2

x=−5
