Question

What is the solution to the equation shown below? 2/3x+5=1​

Answer 1

Answer:

$x=-6$

I don't know if this what you were looking for but if you were solving for x this is how you do it.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find x we subtract 5 on both sides

$\frac{2}{3} x+5=1\\-5=-5$

$\frac{2}{3}x =-4$

Multiply both sides by 3 to get rid of the fraction

$(3)\frac{2}{3}x =-4(3)$

Divide 2 on each sides

$2x =-12$

$\frac{2x}{2} =\frac{-12}{2}$

$x=-6$
