Reverse PEMDAS

5/3x + 11/3 = -4/3

1 answer

To solve the equation 5/3x + 11/3 = -4/3 using reverse PEMDAS, we will start by isolating the variable x.

First, subtract 11/3 from both sides to move it to the other side of the equation:

5/3x = -4/3 - 11/3
5/3x = -15/3

Next, we multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of the coefficient of x, which is 3/5:

(3/5)(5/3x) = (3/5)(-15/3)
x = -9/5

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -9/5.
