To solve the equation, we need to isolate the variable x.
Starting with the equation:
5/3x + 11/3 = -4/3
Subtracting 11/3 on both sides:
5/3x = -15/3 - 11/3
5/3x = -26/3
Dividing both sides by 5/3:
x = (-26/3) / (5/3)
To divide fractions, we multiply by the reciprocal of the denominator:
x = (-26/3) * (3/5)
x = -26/5
So, the solution to the equation is x = -26/5.
