Solve 2/3x+15=4

$$\frac { 2 } { 3 } x + 15 = 4$$

Solve for x

$$x = -\frac{33}{2} = -16\frac{1}{2} = -16.5$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 15 from both sides.

$$\frac{2}{3}x=4-15$$

Subtract 15 from 4 to get -11.

$$\frac{2}{3}x=-11$$

Multiply both sides by \frac{3}{2}, the reciprocal of \frac{2}{3}.

$$x=-11\times \frac{3}{2}$$

Express -11\times \frac{3}{2} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{-11\times 3}{2}$$

Multiply -11 and 3 to get -33.

$$x=\frac{-33}{2}$$

Fraction \frac{-33}{2} can be rewritten as -\frac{33}{2} by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-\frac{33}{2}$$
