Question

2x+1/3 -2 = -7

Answer 1

Please walk me through this if you can.

Answer 2

You'll have to write it out using the drawing button first.

Answer 3

Because it can be interpreted two ways:

\[2x + \frac{1}{3} - 2 = -7\] or

\[\frac{2x+1}{3} - 2 = -7\]

In order to avoid ambiguity, most people use parentheses:

((2x+1)/3) - 2 = -7
