Given the numerical expression:
-2/3 (x+5) + 4(x+5) - 10/3(x+5)
Solution:
In order to solve the numerical expression, distribute first the values outside the parenthesis to each value inside their corresponding parenthesis.
-2/3 (x+5) + 4(x+5) - 10/3(x+5)
-2/3x - 10/3 + 4x+20 - 10/3x+50/3
4x and 20 can be changed to fraction in order to easily combine similar terms, 4x = 12x/3 and 20 = 60/3
= -⅔x -10/3 + 12/3x + 60/3 - 10/3x - 50/3
= -12 / 3 x + 12 / 3x + 60/3 -60/3
= 0
Final answer:
= 0
