What is the first step in solving this equation? 1/2x+7=2/3x-6?

Step-by-step explanation:

doing whole question

12+7=23⋅−6

12+7=23⋅−6

12+7=23⋅−6

2+7=23⋅−6

2+7=23−6

2+7=23−6

2+7=23−6

2+7−7=23−6−7

Subtract the numbers

2=23−13

2=23−13

2⋅3⋅2=2⋅3(23−13)

Cancel multiplied terms that are in the denominator

Multiply the numbers

Distribute

Combine multiplied terms into a single fraction

Multiply the numbers

Cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator

3=4−78

4

4x4x

 from both sides of the equation

3=4−78

3x=4x-783x=4x−78

3−4=4−78−4

Combine like terms

−=−78

−=−78

-x=-78−x=−78

−−1=−78−1

Cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator

Divide the numbers

=78

since both sides equal, there are infinitely many olutions.

after simplifying it i got: -36.25 as my answer. hope that !
