2x/3 - 5 = 21

2x/3 = 26

2x = 78

x = 39

OPTION A is the answer.....

Answer:

The value of x obtained on solving the equation is:

                             x=39

Step-by-step explanation:

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
