Answer:

x = [tex]-6.6\overline{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 2 1/3 from both sides of the equation. 2 1/3 is the same as 2.3333... in decimal form. Now you have:

  • -1.5x = 9.966667

Divide both sides by -1.5 to isolate and solve for x.

  • x = -6.6444...

To show a repeating decimal you would put a line over the repeated number. In this case the line would be over the number 4.

The final answer is x = [tex]-6.6\overline{4}[/tex].
