1 1/3 + x = 3 2/3

1 answer

To solve for x, first let's convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:
1 1/3 = 4/3
3 2/3 = 11/3

Now the equation becomes:
4/3 + x = 11/3

To solve for x, we need to isolate x by subtracting 4/3 from both sides of the equation:
x = 11/3 - 4/3
x = 7/3

Therefore, x = 7/3 or 2 1/3.
