Plz answer this question:

Yes, Lord Vader !

                                               2/3 x + 5   = 1/2

Multiply each side by  2 :       4/3 x + 10  =  1

Multiply each side by  3 :         4  x + 30  =  3  <== equivalent equation
                                                                                without fractions
 
Subtract  30  from each side:  4x             =  -27

Divide each side by  4 :            x              =  -27/4  =  -6.75 

The skating rink rented 872 pairs of skates during april and may.why? : if the skating rink rented three times the pair of skates in april during may, they rented 654 skates. 218 x 3 = 654then, if they want to know how many they rented during both april and may, then you just add 654 (may) and 218 (april) to give you 872 pairs of skates for both months.654 + 218 = 872hope this !
