Question

please solve this question 2/3(x-5)-1/4(x-2)=9/2 its answer is 88/5​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 88/5

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{2}{3}$(x - 5) - $\frac{1}{4}$(x - 2) = $\frac{9}{2}$ ..... (1)

Multiply (1) by 12

8(x - 5) - 3(x - 2) = 54

8x - 40 - 3x + 6 = 54

5x - 34 = 54

5x = 88

x = $\frac{88}{5}$

Answer 2

2/3(x-5)-1/4(x-2)=9/2
2x-10/3-x+2/4=9/2
8x-40-3x+6/12=9/12
5x-34/12=9/12
2(5x-34)=9 x 12
10x-68=108
10x=108+68
X=176/10
X=88/5
X=17.6
