Solve the equation, keeping the value for x as an improper fraction. 2 3 x = − 1 2 x + 5 1. isolate the variable by adding 1 2 x to both sides: 1 2 x + 2 3 x = 5 2. use the common denominator to add terms: 3 6 x + 4 6 x = 5 7 6 x = 5 3. multiply by the reciprocal: 6 7 (7 6 )x = 5(6 7 ) x =

30/7

Step-by-step explanation:

x =

Step-by-step explanation:

Collect terms in x on the left side of the equation and numeric values on the right side.

Add 12x to both sides

35x = 51 ( divide both sides by 35 )

x =

start with a line segment pq that we will copy. mark a point r that will be one endpoint of the new line segment. set the compasses' point on the point p of the line segment to be copied. adjust the compasses' width to the point q. the compasses' width is now equal to the length of the line segment pq.
