Question 13593
The equation for this problem is 1/2x+16=4-2/3x
Solve the equation:
The x's need to be on one side and the numbers on the other, add 2/3x to both sides of the equation
1/2x+2/3x+16=4
Now subtract 16 from both sides of the equation
1/2x+2/3x=-12 (Add the two fractions together)
7/6x=-12 (Divide both sides of the equation by 7/6)
x=-72/7
The number for this equation is -72/7
