SOLUTION: here's the uestion solve the equation
2x/3= -2(x-5) -5/6
this is how i did it.
- 3( 2x/3=-2x+10 - 5/6
- 2x=-6x+30+10
- 8x=40
so.. x= 5?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! 2x/3= -2(x-5) -5/6
this is how i did it.
- 3( 2x/3=-2x+10 - 5/6
- 2x=-6x+30+10

See if 5 works:
2x/3= -2(x-5) -5/6
10/3 =? -2*(0) - 5/6
10/3 =? -5/6 NG
---------------------
From above:
- 3( 2x/3=-2x+10 - 5/6
- 2x=-6x+30+10 ******** -3*(-5/6) <> 10
--------------
2x/3= -2(x-5) -5/6
Multiply by 6
6*(2x/3) = 6*(-2x+10) - 5
4x = -12x + 60 - 5
16x = 55
x = 55/16
