A. X= - 19/6
B. X= - 11/6
C. X= - 21/6
D. X= - 29/6

Answer 1

\[\frac{ -2 }{ 3 } (3x−4)+3x= \frac{ 5 }{ 6 }\]

Answer 2

yeah that's what it is thanks!

Answer 3

But what's the answer?

Answer 4

\[( \frac{ -2 }{ 3 } )(3x)+( \frac{ -2 }{ 3 } )(−4)+3x= \frac{ 5 }{ 6 }\]

Answer 5

Distribute^

\[−2x+ \frac{ 8 }{ 3 }+3x= 5 6\]

\[(−2x+3x)+( \frac{ 8 }{ 3 } )= 5 6\]

Answer 6

Subtract 8/3 from both sides.

\[x+ \frac{ 8 }{ 3 } = 5 6\]

Answer 7

\[x+ \frac{ 8 }{ 3 }− \frac{ 8 }{ 3 } = \frac{ 5 }{ 6 } −\frac{ 8 }{ 3}\]

Answer 8

\[\frac{ 5 }{ 6} − \frac{ 8 }{ 3} = ? \]

Answer 9

would it be 5/6 - 16/6 = 11/6?

Answer 10
