Question

0.5x-4/2.4+6=-5/3 equation and verify

Answer 1

Answer:

x=-20

Step-by-step explanation:

0.5x-4/2.4+6=-5/3

cross multiply

3(0.5x-4)=-5(2.4+6)

1.5x-12=-12+(-30)

1.5x=-42+12

1.5x=-30

x=-30÷1.5

x=-20

verification

substitute x value in equation

0.5(-20)-4/8.4=(-5)/3

-10-4/8.4= (-5) /3

-14/8.4=(-5)/3

-2.8×5/2.8×3=(-5) /3

cancel 2.8 in numerator and denominator then

(-5)/3=(-5)/3

hence x = (-20)
