Question

$$\frac{2}{3}x+3=x+2$$

Solve for x

$x=3$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $x$ from both sides.

$$\frac{2}{3}x+3-x=2$$

Combine $\frac{2}{3}x$ and $-x$ to get $-\frac{1}{3}x$.

$$-\frac{1}{3}x+3=2$$

Subtract $3$ from both sides.

$$-\frac{1}{3}x=2-3$$

Subtract $3$ from $2$ to get $-1$.

$$-\frac{1}{3}x=-1$$

Multiply both sides by $-3$, the reciprocal of $-\frac{1}{3}$.

$$x=-\left(-3\right)$$

Multiply $-1$ and $-3$ to get $3$.

$$x=3$$
