Question

What is the value of x in the equation Negative two-thirds x + 9 = four-thirds x minus 3?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Addition property of equality. One-fifth (x) minus two-thirds = four-thirds. One-fifth (x) minus two-thirds + two-thirds = four-thirds + two-thirds. 2. Multiplicative property of equality. One-fifth (x) (StartFraction 5 over 1 1. Addition property of equality. One-fifth (x) minus two-thirds = four-thirds. One-fifth (x) minus two-thirds + two-thirds = four-thirds + two-thirds. 2. Multiplicative property of equality. One-fifth (x) (StartFraction 5 over 1 EndFraction) = StartFraction 6 over 3 EndFraction (StartFraction 5 over 1 EndFraction)) = StartFraction 6 over 3 1.
