Solve for x

(2x/3) - (5/3) = (1/2)

x = 13/4

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x/3) - (5/3) = (1/2)

Multiply everything by 3

2x - 5 = 3/2

Get the x term on it's own by adding 5 to both sides

2x = 3/2 + 5

2x = 3/2 + 10/2

2x = 13/2

Divide by 2 to get x on it's own

x = 13/2 : 2 = 13/2 * 1/2 = 13/4
