the equation 5/3x + 11/3= -4/3 is solved as a follows supply the correct number to complete the solution

Answer 1

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.
