Question

solve the following equation x+7-8x/3=17/6-5x/2​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 6/5

Step-by-step explanation:

$x + 7 - \frac{8x}{3} = \frac{17}{6} - \frac{5x}{2}$

$x - \frac{8x}{3} + \frac{5x}{2} = \frac{17}{6} - \frac{7}{1} \\ \frac{x}{1} - \frac{8x}{3} + \frac{5x}{2} = \frac{17}{6} - \frac{7}{1} \times \frac{6}{6} \\ \frac{x \times 6}{1 \times 6} - \frac{8x \times 2}{3 \times 2} + \frac{5x \times 3}{2 \times 3} = \frac{17 - 11}{6} \\ \frac{6x - 16x + 15x}{6} = \frac{6}{6} \\ \frac{5x}{6} = 1 \\ 5x = 1 \times 6$

$5x = 6 \\ x = \frac{6}{5}$
