The equation 5/3x + 11/3 = -4/3 is solved as follows. Fill in the correct numbers to complete the solution.
5/3x + 11/3 = -4/3
5/3x = ____ subtract 11/3 from both sides
x = ____ multiply both sides by 3/4, the reciprocal of 5/3
To solve the equation, we subtract 11/3 from both sides:
5/3x + 11/3 - 11/3 = -4/3 - 11/3
5/3x = -15/3
Simplifying the equation, we have:
5/3x = -5
To isolate x, we multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 5/3, which is 3/5:
(5/3x)(3/5) = -5(3/5)
(x)(1) = -3
Therefore, the solution is:
x = -3
