Answer 1

Let's solve the equation step by step and fill in the missing numbers.

1. Start with the original equation: \[ \frac{5}{3} x + \frac{11}{3} = -\frac{4}{3} \]

2. Subtract \(\frac{11}{3}\) from both sides: \[ \frac{5}{3} x = -\frac{4}{3} - \frac{11}{3} \] To combine the fractions on the right side: \[ -\frac{4 + 11}{3} = -\frac{15}{3} \] Therefore: \[ \frac{5}{3} x = -5 \]

3. Now, complete the equation for \(x\): \[ x = -5 \] Multiply both sides by \(\frac{3}{5}\) (the reciprocal of \(\frac{5}{3}\)): \[ x = -5 \cdot \frac{3}{5} \] \[ x = -3 \]

So the complete solution can be summarized as follows:

1. Fill in the subtraction result: \[ 5/3 x = -5 \]

2. Fill in the value of \(x\): \[ x = -3 \]

Thus the final filled-in statements would be:

• \(5/3 x = -5\)
• \(x = -3\)
