x=

Answer 1

wrong

Answer 2

To solve the equation x + 2 1/3 = 5 2/3 using inverse operations, we need to isolate the variable x by performing the opposite operation to both sides of the equation.

First, we can subtract 2 1/3 from both sides to undo the addition. Since 2 1/3 can be converted to an improper fraction as 7/3, the equation becomes:

x + 7/3 - 7/3 = 5 2/3 - 7/3

x = 5/3

So, the solution to the equation x + 2 1/3 = 5 2/3 is x = 5/3.

Answer 3

Apologies for the mistake. Let's try to solve the equation correctly.

To solve the equation x + 2 1/3 = 5 2/3 using inverse operations, we need to isolate the variable x by performing the opposite operations to both sides of the equation.

First, let's subtract 2 1/3 from both sides of the equation:

x + 2 1/3 - 2 1/3 = 5 2/3 - 2 1/3

This simplifies to:

x = 3 1/3

Therefore, the solution to the equation x + 2 1/3 = 5 2/3 is x = 3 1/3.
