What is the solution of the equation 8/9(x+1/2)=32/3 when solving for x right answers only pls

1 answer

To solve the equation, we can simplify both sides by multiplying through by the reciprocal of the coefficient of x. In this case, the reciprocal of 8/9 is 9/8.

Simplifying the equation:

(8/9)(x+1/2) = 32/3
(9/8)(8/9)(x+1/2) = (9/8)(32/3)
x + 1/2 = 36/1 <-- Simplifying the right side
x + 1/2 = 36
x = 36 - 1/2
x = 35.5
