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

1 answer

The equation (5/3)x + 11/3 = -4/3 can be solved as follows:

First, we can subtract 11/3 from both sides of the equation:
(5/3)x = -4/3 - 11/3
(5/3)x = -15/3

Next, we can simplify the right side of the equation:
(5/3)x = -5

To isolate x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 5/3, which is 3/5:
x = (-5)*(3/5)

Finally, we can simplify the right side of the equation:
x = -15/5
x = -3
