To solve for x, first distribute the 2/3 to both terms inside the parentheses:
2/3(x) + 2/3(7) = 10
2x/3 + 14/3 = 10
Next, subtract 14/3 from both sides:
2x/3 = 10 - 14/3
2x/3 = 30/3 - 14/3
2x/3 = 16/3
To isolate x, multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 2/3, which is 3/2:
(2x/3) * (3/2) = (16/3) * (3/2)
x = 16/2
x = 8
Therefore, the correct answer is:
B 8
Solve for x.
2/3(x + 7) = 10
