Question

$$\frac { 2 x } { 3 } + 8 = \frac { x } { 2 } - 1$$

Solve for x

$x=-54$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by $6$, the least common multiple of $3,2$.

$$2\times 2x+48=3x-6$$

Multiply $2$ and $2$ to get $4$.

$$4x+48=3x-6$$

Subtract $3x$ from both sides.

$$4x+48-3x=-6$$

Combine $4x$ and $-3x$ to get $x$.

$$x+48=-6$$

Subtract $48$ from both sides.

$$x=-6-48$$

Subtract $48$ from $-6$ to get $-54$.

$$x=-54$$
