2/3 + 5 = -3
First, we need to simplify the left side of the equation by finding a common denominator.
The common denominator of 3 and 1 is 3.
2/3 + 5/1 = -3
Now we can add the fractions by finding a common numerator.
2/3 + 15/3 = -3
17/3 = -3
We can now solve for the variable by multiplying both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 17/3.
3/17 * 17/3 = -3 * 3/17
1 = -9/17
This is a contradiction. There is no solution to the equation.
Solve the equation 2/3+5= -3
