Solve the following equation algebraically. Show your work. 6=x+2/3


(x+2/3) is a fraction

1 answer

To solve the equation, we need to isolate the variable x.

We start by subtracting 2/3 from both sides:

6 - 2/3 = x + 2/3 - 2/3

Simplifying the left side:

(18/3) - (2/3) = x

Now add and subtract the fractions:

(18 - 2) / 3 = x

Simplifying the numerator:

16 / 3 = x

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 16/3.
