Question

What is the solution to the linear equation? x – StartFraction 2 Over 3 EndFraction x minus StartFraction one-half EndFraction equals StartFraction 1 Over 3 EndFraction plus StartFraction 5 Over 6 EndFraction x. = + x

Answer 1

-5 (answer A)

Explanation:

Answer 2

`x=-(5)/(3)`

Explanation:

we have

`x-(2)/(3)x-(1)/(2)=(1)/(3)+(5)/(6)x`

Solve for x

Multiply by 6 both sides to remove the fractions

`6x-(2)(2)x-(3)(1)=(2)(1)+5x`

`6x-4x-3=2+5x`

`2x-3=2+5x`

`5x-2x=-3-2`

`3x=-5`

`x=-(5)/(3)`
