Question

$$2x-(\frac{4x}{3}\div12)=18$$

Solve for x

$x = \frac{162}{17} = 9\frac{9}{17} \approx 9.529411765$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by $12$.

$$24x-\frac{4x}{3}=216$$

Multiply both sides of the equation by $3$.

$$72x-4x=648$$

Combine $72x$ and $-4x$ to get $68x$.

$$68x=648$$

Divide both sides by $68$.

$$x=\frac{648}{68}$$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{648}{68}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $4$.

$$x=\frac{162}{17}$$
