The equation 5/3x+11/3=−4/3 is solved as follows. Fill in the correct numbers to complete the solution.

1 answer

To solve the equation 5/3x + 11/3 = -4/3, we can first subtract 11/3 from both sides to isolate the variable:

5/3x = -4/3 - 11/3

Combining the fractions on the right side gives:

5/3x = -15/3

Next, we can simplify the fractions by multiplying the denominators:

5/3x = -5

To isolate x, we can multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 5/3, which is 3/5:

(3/5)(5/3x) = (3/5)(-5)

This simplifies to:

1x = -3

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -3.
