the equation 5/3 x + 11/3 = - 4/3 is solved as follows. Fill in the correct numbers to complete the solution.

3 answers

To solve the equation, we will isolate the variable x.

First, subtract 11/3 from both sides of the equation to get:

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

Simplifying the right side gives:

5/3 x = -15/3

Now, to solve for x, we need to isolate x. We can do this by multiplying both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 5/3, which is 3/5:

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

This simplifies to:

1x = -9/5

So the solution to the equation is:
x = -9/5
the equation 5/3 x + 11/3 = - 4/3 is solved as follows. Fill in the correct numbers to complete the solution.
5/3 x = subtract 11/3 from both sides
x = multiply both sides by 3/5 the reciprocal 5/3
