To solve the equation, we start by subtracting 11/3 from both sides:
5/3 + 11/3 - 11/3 = -4/3 - 11/3
5/3 = -15/3
Now, we multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 5/3, which is 3/5.
(3/5)(5/3) = (3/5)(-15/3)
x = -9/5
The equation 5/3 + 11/3 = -4/3 is solved as follows. Fill in the correct numbers to complete the solution.
5/3x =______ subtract 11/3 from both sides
x = ______ multiply both sides by 3/5, the reciprocal of 5/3
