Let the unknown number be x:
2x/3 +7 = 1x/6-5
Multiply all terms by 6 to eradicate the denominators:
4x+42 = x-30
Collect like terms together noticing the changes with the + and - signs:
4x-x = -30-42
3x = -72
Divide both sides of the equation by 3 to find the value of x:
x = -24
Substituting the value of x into the original equation will give you: -9 = -9
