idk how to even start tbh (ik this is easy for some people but i honestly dont understand it)
Manny300303199:
are we supposed to graph it
notmeta:
no just solve :/
notmeta:
"solve for x"
notmeta:
15x + 17 1/3 = (23.5-45) 3.45
i legit think its not solvable

I dont think it is
notmeta:
hm :/
Manny300303199:
there is no other x
notmeta:
shi i forgot the x at the end 15x + 17 1/3 = (23.5-45) 3.45x
EN0KI:
\[15x + 17\frac{ 1 }{ 3 } = (23.5-45) 3.45x \]
Err I may be wrong but this is ur equation right?

Mkay well you're going to want to turn the mixed number (17 1/3) into a fraction.
So 17 times 3= 51+1= 52/3
So then it becomes:\[15x+\frac{ 52 }{ 3 }=\left(23.5-45\right)3.45x\]
notmeta:
is it the same as pemdas with solving the things in the brackets first?
EN0KI:
And \[23.5-45 \times 3.45x = -74.175x\]
Then your equation becomes:
\[15x+\frac{ 52 }{ 3 }=-74.175x\]
Move 52/3 to the right,
\[15x=-74.175x-17.3333 \] and so on
74.175x to the left
\[89.175=-17.3333\]
Divide both sides by 89.175x
And then you get x=-0.19437 I believe

Slightly. Except you're not starting with parenthesis, just fraction first then parenthesis and so forth.
