Question

What is the solution to the equation
1/2x+3 = 2/3+1?

Answer 1

x = -8/3

Explanation:

1/2x+3 = 2/3+1

Combine like terms

1/2x+3 = 2/3 + 3/3

1/2x + 3 = 5/3

Subtract 3 from each side

1/2x + 3-3 = 5/3 - 3

1/2x = 5/3 - 9/3

1/2x = -4/3

Multiply each side by 2

1/2x *2 = -4/3*2

x = -8/3
