Question

$13 + \frac{3x}{2} = \frac{13}{2}$

Answer 1

Hi there !!

Given,
to find the value of x in


$13 + \frac{3x}{2} = \frac{13}{2}$
Transposing 13 to RHS , we have,


$\frac{3x}{2} = \frac{13}{2} - \frac{13}{1}$
In RHS, taking LCM as 2 ,
we have,

$\frac{3x}{2} = \frac{13 - 26}{2}$

$\frac{3x}{2} = \frac{ - 13}{2}$

Cross Multiplying the terms, we have,

$3x(2) = - 13(2)$

$6x = - 26$

$x = \frac{ - 26}{6}$
Reducing the fraction to it's simpliest form, we have,


$x = \frac{ - 13}{3}$
is the answer

Answer 2

13 + 3x/2 = 13/2
(13*2 + 3x) / 2 = 13/ 2
26 +3x = 13
3x = 13 - 26
3x = -13
x = -13/3
