Algebra question need help please?

the thing you need to do is get the x alone.

subtract 4 from both sides.

you'll end up with 2x/3=x-9

now cross multiply because x-9 really equals x-9/1

you'll get after you cross multiply 2x=3x-27

subtract 3x from both sides. you end up with -1x=-27

divide both sides by -1 and you'll get x=27

now plug it in for the x values and check, IT WORKS :D

hope i helped (:

2x/3+4=x-5

subtract x from the left and right

-x/3 + 4 = -5

subract 4 from left and right

-x/3 = -9

multiply by -3

x = 27
