How to solve yx + 1/2 = 5/3

1. Factor the equation (x + 2)(x + 3) = 0. 2. Set each factor equal to zero: x + 2 = 0 and x + 3 = 0. 3. Solve for x: x = -2 and x = -3.

Question

$$y\times x+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{3}$$

Solve for x

$x=\frac{7}{6y}$
$y\neq 0$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $\frac{1}{2}$ from both sides.

$$yx=\frac{5}{3}-\frac{1}{2}$$

Subtract $\frac{1}{2}$ from $\frac{5}{3}$ to get $\frac{7}{6}$.

$$yx=\frac{7}{6}$$

Divide both sides by $y$.

$$\frac{yx}{y}=\frac{\frac{7}{6}}{y}$$

Dividing by $y$ undoes the multiplication by $y$.

$$x=\frac{\frac{7}{6}}{y}$$

Divide $\frac{7}{6}$ by $y$.

$$x=\frac{7}{6y}$$

Solve for y

$y=\frac{7}{6x}$
$x\neq 0$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $\frac{1}{2}$ from both sides.

$$yx=\frac{5}{3}-\frac{1}{2}$$

Subtract $\frac{1}{2}$ from $\frac{5}{3}$ to get $\frac{7}{6}$.

$$yx=\frac{7}{6}$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$xy=\frac{7}{6}$$

Divide both sides by $x$.

$$\frac{xy}{x}=\frac{\frac{7}{6}}{x}$$

Dividing by $x$ undoes the multiplication by $x$.

$$y=\frac{\frac{7}{6}}{x}$$

Divide $\frac{7}{6}$ by $x$.

$$y=\frac{7}{6x}$$
