Solve 2/3x-40=9x - ScanMath

Evaluate

\frac{2}{3} x - 40 = 9 x

Move the variable to the left side

\frac{2}{3} x - 40 - 9 x = 0

Subtract the terms

More Steps

- \frac{25}{3} x - 40 = 0

Move the constant to the right side

- \frac{25}{3} x = 0 + 40

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

- \frac{25}{3} x = 40

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

\frac{25}{3} x = - 40

Multiply by the reciprocal

\frac{25}{3} x \times \frac{3}{25} = - 40 \times \frac{3}{25}

Multiply

x = - 40 \times \frac{3}{25}

Solution
