Question

If 2/3x - 2 + 6, what is the value of x

Answer 1

2/3X=.6
1/3X=.3
3/3X=.9
2/3 of anything means that if one breaks that thing into 3 parts, one if referencing 2 of those 3 parts. So if 2 of the parts is equal to 0.6, then the one part is half of that value, or a value of 0.3. Then, aggregating all the 3 parts results in a value for the whole of 0.9. You’re welcome :)!

Answer 2

`x=-(1)/(6)`

Explanation:

Given equation:

`(2)/(3x) - 2 + 6`

Making the equation in standard form to find the value of 'x':

`(2)/(3x)-2+6=0`

Taking the terms of 'x' to one side and the constants to the other side:

`(2)/(3x)+4=0\\`

Subtracting '4' both sides:

`(2)/(3x)=-4`

On cross multiplication:

`2=-4(3x)`

`2=-12x`

`x=(2)/(-12) \\`

`x=-(1)/(6)`
