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 need to isolate the variable x.

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

Next, we can simplify the equation:
5/3x = -5

To solve for 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)
1x = -3

Therefore, the solution is x = -3.
