Question

What is the solution for x in the equation 5/3 x +4=2/3 x

Answer 1

x = - 4

Explanation:

Given

`(5)/(3)` x + 4 =
`(2)/(3)` x

Multiply through by 3 to clear the fractions

5x + 12 = 2x ( subtract 2x from both sides )

3x + 12 = 0 ( subtract 12 from both sides )

3x = - 12 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = - 4
