Solve for xx in the equation 2x3+2=10\frac{2 x}{3} + 2 = 10.

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The equation to solve is x3+=10\frac{x}{3} + =10 . We are solving for xx

STEP 2

First, we need to isolate the term with xx on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting2 from both sides of the equation.
2x+22=102\frac{2x}{} +2 -2 =10 -2

STEP 3

implify the equation.
2x3=102\frac{2x}{3} =10 -2

STEP 4

Calculate the right side of the equation.
2x3=8\frac{2x}{3} =8

STEP 5

To solve for xx, we need to get rid of the fraction. We can do this by multiplying both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 23\frac{2}{3}, which is 32\frac{3}{2}.
2x3×32=8×32\frac{2x}{3} \times \frac{3}{2} =8 \times \frac{3}{2}

STEP 6

implify the left side of the equation.
x=8×32x =8 \times \frac{3}{2}

STEP 7

Calculate the right side of the equation.
x=×32=12x = \times \frac{3}{2} =12So, the solution to the equation is x=12x =12.
