Sum

Solution
Transposing – 4 to other side, it becomes + 4
∴ `(2x)/3 = 10/3 + 4` ...[Taking L.C.M and adding]
`(2x)/3 = 10/3 + 4/1`
= `(10 + 12)/3`
= `22/3`
`(2x)/3 = 22/3`
Multiplying by 3 on both sides
`(2x)/3 xx 3 = 22/3 xx 3`
⇒ 2x = 22
dividing by 2 on both sides,
We get `(2x)/2 = 22/2`
∴ x = 11
