Question

What is the solution to this equation? x+ 3 2/3 =26

Answer 1

x=67/3

Explanation:

First, to make soliving easier, we have to convert 3 2/3 to an improper fraction which is 11/3 because 3 goes into 9 3 times but has 2 left over.

so now we have x + 11/3 = 26

You have to subtract 11/3 from both sides so the variable can be isolated. To do that, subtract 26/1 - 11/3. They have a common denominator of 3 so you end up with 78/3 - 11/3 = 67/3

so you end up with

x=67/3
