10/2x+1+4/3=2

Question

I need help in algebra 2. I don't really understand what we are doing in class

Answer 1

Jc,

 

I am assuming that the equation is 10/(2x+1) + 4/3 = 2 and you have to find value of x

 

For this equation first subtract 4/3 from both sides

 

So now we have 10/(2x+1) = 2-(4/3)

i.e 10/(2x+1) = (3*2-4)/3 = 2/3

So 10/(2x+1) = 2/3

You can cross multiply the numerator and denominator from both sides

10*3 = 2*(2x+1)

30 = 4x + 2

or 4x = 28

x = 7
