Question

What is the value of x in the equation:
1/3(x+3)+ 4 = -4+2
/3x

Answer 1

Explanation:

`(1)/(3) (x+3)+4=-4+(2)/(3) x\\multiply~by~3\\x+3+12=-12+2x\\x-2x=-12-3-12\\-x=-27\\or~x=27\\`

or if it is

`(1)/(3) (x+3)+4=-4+(2)/(3x)\\ multiply~by~3x\\x(x+3)+12x=-12x+2\\x^2+3x+12x+12x=2\\x^2+27x-2=0\\x=(-27 \pm √((27)^2-4*1*-2) )/(2*1) \\or~x=(-27 \pm √(729+8) )/(2) \\or~x=(-27 \pm√(737) )/(2)`
