Q. Which value of x x satisfies the equation 12(x53)=133 \frac{1}{2}\left(x-\frac{5}{3}\right)=-\frac{13}{3} ?\newline77\newline8 -8 \newline88\newline7 -7
  1. Write Equation: Write down the equation and simplify it if possible.\newline12(x53)=133\frac{1}{2}(x-\frac{5}{3})=-\frac{13}{3}
  2. Eliminate Fraction: Multiply both sides of the equation by 22 to eliminate the fraction on the left side.\newline2×12(x53)=2×(133)2 \times \frac{1}{2}(x-\frac{5}{3}) = 2 \times \left(-\frac{13}{3}\right)\newlinex53=263x - \frac{5}{3} = -\frac{26}{3}
  3. Isolate x: Add (5)/(3)(5)/(3) to both sides of the equation to isolate x.\newlinex53+53=263+53x - \frac{5}{3} + \frac{5}{3} = -\frac{26}{3} + \frac{5}{3}\newlinex=263+53x = -\frac{26}{3} + \frac{5}{3}
  4. Combine Fractions: Combine the fractions on the right side of the equation.\newlinex=263+53x = -\frac{26}{3} + \frac{5}{3}\newlinex=[(26)+5]/3x = \left[-\left(26\right) + 5\right] / 3\newlinex=213x = -\frac{21}{3}
  5. Find x Value: Simplify the fraction to find the value of xx.x=213x = \frac{-21}{3}x=7x = -7
