Answer:
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
-2/3 (x+12)+2/3x=-5/4x+2
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
−2/3 (x+12)+2/3x=−5/4x+2
(−2/3)(x)+(−2/3)(12)+2/3x=−5/4x+2(Distribute)
−2/3x+−8+2/3x=−5/4x+2
(-2/3x+2/3x)+(−8)=−5/4x+2(Combine Like Terms)
−8=−5/4x+2
−8=−5/4x+2
Step 2: Flip the equation.
−5/4x + 2=−8
Step 3: Subtract 2 from both sides.
−5/4x+2−2=−8−2
−5/4x=−10
Step 4: Multiply both sides by 4/(-5).
(4/-5)×(-5/4x)=(4/-5) ×(-10)
Answer: X = 8
