To solve the equation 5/3x + 11/3 = -4/3, we can first subtract 11/3 from both sides of the equation:
5/3x + 11/3 - 11/3 = -4/3 - 11/3
This simplifies to:
5/3x = -15/3
Next, we can simplify -15/3 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 3:
5/3x = -5
To isolate x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 5/3, which is 3/5:
(3/5) * (5/3x) = (3/5) * (-5)
This gives us:
1x = -15/5
Simplifying -15/5, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by 5:
x = -3/1
Therefore, the correct solution to the equation is x = -3.
