Solve 1/3*x+2x+2=23

$$\frac { 1 } { 3 } \cdot x + 2 x + 2 = 23$$

Solve for x

$$x=9$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine \frac{1}{3}x and 2x to get \frac{7}{3}x.

$$\frac{7}{3}x+2=23$$

Subtract 2 from both sides.

$$\frac{7}{3}x=23-2$$

Subtract 2 from 23 to get 21.

$$\frac{7}{3}x=21$$

Multiply both sides by \frac{3}{7}, the reciprocal of \frac{7}{3}.

$$x=21\times \frac{3}{7}$$

Express 21\times \frac{3}{7} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{21\times 3}{7}$$

Multiply 21 and 3 to get 63.

$$x=\frac{63}{7}$$

Divide 63 by 7 to get 9.

$$x=9$$
