what is the answer to 2/3 (x-5)+1/2 x=-3

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let's get rid of those fractions by multiplying each side through by the common denominator of both 2 and 3, which is 6. So we have

4(x - 5) + 3x = -18   Simplifying, we get

7x -20 = -18    Add 20 to both sides

7x = 2      Divide both sides by 7

x = 2/7

Make sure to check this answer in the original problem!!

That asnwer would be x=2/7
