Question

If x/2 + 5/3 = -1/2, then x is equal to
​

Answer 1

Answer:

7/3

Step-by-step explanation:

x/2 +5/3 = -1/2

3x + 10/6 = -1/2

3x + 10 = -3

3x = 7

x = 7/3

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{x}{2} + \frac{5}{3} = \frac{ - 1}{2} \\ \frac{3x + 10}{6} = \frac{ - 1}{2} \\ \frac{3x + 10}{3} = - 1 \\ 3x + 10 = - 3 \\ 3x = - 3 - 10 \\ 3x = - 13 \\ x = \frac{ - 13}{3}$
