Solve for x. 2/3x−5=21 x = 39 x=52/3 x = 24 x=32/3
The value of x obtained on solving the equation is:
x=39
We are given a equation in terms of the variable x as follows:
\(\dfrac{2}{3}x-5=21\)
Now on adding 5 on both the sides of the equation we have:
\(\dfrac{2}{3}x-5+5=21+5\\\\\dfrac{2}{3}x=26\)
On multiplying both side by 3/2 we get:
\(x=26\times \dfrac{3}{2}\\\\x=13\times 3\\\\x=39\)
Hence, the answer is: x = 39
