Solve the equation using the transportation method and verify the answer: 2x/3 - 1 = x/2 + 3/2
Added by Patrick F.
Step 1
First, we need to get all the x terms on one side and all the constant terms on the other side. To do this, we can add x/2 to both sides and subtract 2x/3 from both sides: 2x/3 - 1 - x/2 = 3/2 (4x - 6)/6 - (3x + 3)/6 = 3/2 (4x - 3x - 6 - 3)/6 = 3/2 x - 9/2 = Show more…
