Answer 2

Answer:

x=39

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{2}{3} x-5=21$

To solve for x , we need to get 'x' alone

$\frac{2}{3} x-5=21$

Add 5 on both sides

$\frac{2}{3} x-5+5=21+5$

 $\frac{2}{3} x=26$

Now to remove fraction , we flip the fraction and multiply it on both sides

$\frac{2}{3}  \cdot \frac{3}{2} x=26\cdot \frac{3}{2}$

x=39
