Answer:
0.9
Step-by-step explanation:
First, convert them all into fractions:
[tex]2\frac{1}{3}=\frac{7}{3}[/tex]
[tex].5=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Now, we have:
[tex]\frac{4x+9}{\frac{7}{3} } =\frac{3x}{\frac{1}{2} }[/tex]
Cross multiply:
[tex]\frac{1}{2} (4x+9)=\frac{7}{3} (3x)[/tex]
On the left, distribute. On the right, notice that the 3 in the denominator and the coefficient 3 cancel:
[tex]2x+4.5=7x[/tex]
[tex]4.5=5x[/tex]
[tex]x=0.9=9/10[/tex]
