To solve the equation 5/3x + 11/3 = -4/3, we need to isolate the variable x on one side of the equation.

To do this, we'll subtract 11/3 from both sides:

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

Simplifying, we have:

5/3x = -15/3

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

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

Simplifying, we get:

1x = -9/5

So the solution to the equation is:

x = -9/5
