Question

Solve for x :: x+2/3-x-5/5=2x-3/4

Answer 1

$x + \frac{2}{3} - x - \frac{5}{5} = 2 \times \frac{3}{4}$

Answer 2

x + 2/3 - x - 5/5 = 2x - 3/4 (cross out the two x's)

2/3 - 5/5 = 2x - 3/4 (calculate 2/3 - 5/5)

-1/3 = 2x -3/4 (move the 2x to the left side and change the sign to a minus)

-2x = -3/4 +1/3 (calculate -3/4 + 1/3)

-2x = 5/12 ( divide both sides by -2)

x = 5/24
