Answer:
5 1/3 x+8 1/2 =3 1/3 ?
the correct answer is -1.774
Explanation:
51/3x + 81/2=31/3 In order to find x, we follow BODMAS rule
so we have,[ 51/3] x + 81/2 =31/3
we have 51x/3 + 81/2=31/3
we collect the like terms;
51x/3= 31/3- 81/2
finding the lcm
51x/3= 2[31} - 3{81}/6
51x/3= 62-243/6
51x/3= -181\6
by using cross multiplication
we have;
6{51x}= 3{-181}
306x = -543
divide both sides by 306
we have;
x = - 1.774
check your answer from
306x=-543
306{-1.774}= -543
-543= -543
