2/3*x-11 = x+4
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by 3 to eliminate the fraction.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "3(2/3x-11) = 3(x+4)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "2x -33 = 3x + 12
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "-x = 45
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "x = -45
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Check this answer.
\n" ); document.write( "2/3*x = 2/3(-45) = -30
\n" ); document.write( "-30-11 = -41
\n" ); document.write( "-45 + 4 = =41
\n" ); document.write( "Correct.
