Consider the following equation-

2/3x-5=27
Whats the first step in solving this equation?

1 answer

The first step in solving this equation is to get rid of the constant term (-5) on the left side of the equation. This can be done by adding 5 to both sides of the equation:

2/3x - 5 + 5 = 27 + 5

Simplifying further:

2/3x = 32
