Question

5x-2 \ 3 = 6 what does x equal

Answer 1

5x-2/3=6
Your answers x=4/3

Answer 2

If you're talking the equation
`(5x-2)/(3) =6`, then:

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

• multiply
  `3` onto both sides.

`5x-2=18`

• add
  `2` to both sides.

`5x=20`

• divide both sides by 5

`x=4`

If you're talking about the equation
`5x-(2)/(3) =6`, then:

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

• add
  `(2)/(3)` to each side

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

• divide both sides by
  `5`.

`x=(6)/(5) +(2)/(15)`

• find the common denominator of
  `(6)/(5)` and
  `(2)/(15)`. In this case its
  `15`, so multiply both the numerator and denominator of
  `(6)/(5)` by
  `3`.

`x=(18)/(15) +(2)/(15)`

• Now that there is a common denominator, add the two terms together.

`x=(20)/(15) = (4)/(3) = 1(1)/(3)`
