Solve 2/3=x+6

$$\frac { 2 } { 3 } = x + 6$$

Solve for x

$$x = -\frac{16}{3} = -5\frac{1}{3} \approx -5.333333333$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$x+6=\frac{2}{3}$$

Subtract 6 from both sides.

$$x=\frac{2}{3}-6$$

Convert 6 to fraction \frac{18}{3}.

$$x=\frac{2}{3}-\frac{18}{3}$$

Since \frac{2}{3} and \frac{18}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{2-18}{3}$$

Subtract 18 from 2 to get -16.

$$x=-\frac{16}{3}$$
