(1/2)(2x+5)-(1/3)x=x-1
You asked:
Solve the equation \(\frac{1}{2} \cdot \left(2 x + 5\right) - \frac{1}{3} \cdot x = x - 1\) for the variable \(x\).
MathBot Answer:
The solution is: \[x = \frac{21}{2} = 10.5\]
\[\begin{aligned}\frac{2 x}{3} + \frac{5}{2} &= x - 1\\- \frac{x}{3} &= - \frac{7}{2}\\x &= \frac{21}{2}\end{aligned}\]
