Question

Solution to 2/3x = -5/2 + 2

Answer 1

x=-0.75

Explanation:

Combine Like terms

2/3x= -5/2+2

2/3x= -2.5+2

2/3x= -0.5

Multiply both sides by 3

2x= -1.5

Divide both sides by 2

x= -0.75

Answer 2

x = -4/3

Explanation:

The LCM for the fractions is 6x.

2/3x = -5/2 + 2

Multiply through by 6x

(6x) 2/3x = (6x) -5/2 + (6x)2

4 = -15x + 12x

4 = -3x

x = -4/3
