Question

2/3x+5=1 what is the solution to the equation shown?

Answer 1

I did not understand any thing

Answer 2

x = - 6

Explanation:

Given

`(2)/(3)` x + 5 = 1 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

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

Multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction

2x = - 12 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = - 6
