Answer:

B. 1/2

Explanation:

2/3x + 2 = 2 1/3

Change the fraction to improper.

2/3x + 2 = 7/3

Subtract 2 on both sides.

2/3x = 7/3 - 2

Subtract like terms.

2/3x = 1/3

Multiply both sides by 3/2.

x = 1/3 × 3/2

x = 3/6

Simplify.

x = 1/2

Answer:

The answer is option b

2/3x+2=2 1/3

Convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction

2/3x+2=7/3

Multiply through by 3

You will get

2x + 6 = 7

2x = 7 - 6

2x = 1

Divide both sides by 2

x = 1/2

Hope this helps
