Solve the following equations:

2/3 (6x+9) = - 2 (1/2x+4)

-3 (2y-1) = 4 (1/2y+3/4)

Solution:

1) x=-/frac{14}{5}

Decimal Form: - 2.8

Done!

Solution:

2) y=0

Done!

2/3 (6x+9) = - 2 (1/2x+4)

2/3*6x=2/3*18/3=36/3*3=12/9

2/3*9=2/3*27/3=54/3*3=19/9

-2/1*1/2x=-4/2*1/2x=-4/2x

answer = 12/9x+18/9 = - 4/2x-8

-3 (2y-1) = 4 (1/2y+3/4)

-3*2y=-6y

-3*-1 = 3

4/1*1/2y 4/1*3/4

*2 * 4

8/2*1/2=8/2 16/4*3/4=48/4 * 4 = 192/16*2=98/32*2=49/16

8/2*2=16/4*4=64/16*2=32/32=1
