Solve the equation x+2/1/3=5/2/3 using inverse operations.(1 point)

Question

x=

Answer 1

To solve the equation x + (2/1/3) = (5/2/3), we need to isolate the variable x.

First, we will simplify both sides of the equation by converting the mixed numbers into improper fractions:

2/1/3 = (3 * 2 + 1) / 3 = 7/3

5/2/3 = (3 * 5 + 2) / 3 = 17/3

Now, the equation becomes x + (7/3) = (17/3).

To isolate x, we need to subtract (7/3) from both sides of the equation:

x + (7/3) - (7/3) = (17/3) - (7/3)

x + 0 = 10/3

x = 10/3

Therefore, the solution to the equation x + (2/1/3) = (5/2/3) is x = 10/3.
