Is the equation %287%2F3%29x%2B9%2F3=2x%2F4??? If so, then....



%287%2F3%29x%2B9%2F3=2x%2F4 Start with the given equation.


Multiply EVERY term by the LCD 12 to clear any fractions.


28x%2B36=6x Multiply and simplify.


28x=6x-36 Subtract 36 from both sides.


28x-6x=-36 Subtract 6x from both sides.


22x=-36 Combine like terms on the left side.


x=%28-36%29%2F%2822%29 Divide both sides by 22 to isolate x.


x=-18%2F11 Reduce.

Answer:

So the answer is x=-18%2F11 which approximates to x=-1.636.
