Question

need help solving algebra equation:

2/3 (x 3) -3x = 2x -2/5 (x-1) 2

Answer 1

x = -1/15 (negative one fifteenth)

thats what i got..

Answer 2

Multiply each term on both sides by the LCD 15.

10(x+3) - 45x = 30x - 6(x-1) + 30

10x + 30 - 45x = 30x - 6x + 6 +30

-35x + 30 = 24x + 36

-59x = 6

x = -6/59

Answer 3

2/3 (x+3) -3x=2x-2/5 (x-1) +2

2/3 (+) 3x -3x=2x-2/5 (-) 1x +2

2/3 = 1x -2/5 +2

2/3 = 1x 1 3/5

1 5/15 = 1x

(one and five/ fithteens = x)

   thats what i got

Answer 4

Start out with distributive property

2/3x+2-3x=2x-2/5x+2/5+2

Now combine like terms

-7/3x+2=8/5x+12/5

Now put your x on one side and your numbers on the other.

-2/5=59/15x

Then multiply by the reciprocal of 59/15 on both sides to get x by itself

-2/5 * 15/59=x

-6/59 = x
