The equation 5/3x +11/3 = −4/3 is solved as follows.
Fill in the correct numbers to complete the solution.
5/3x = ?
Subtract 11/3 from both sides.
x = ?
Multiply both sides by 3/5, the reciprocal of 5/3.
To find the value of x, we need to solve the equation step by step:
To get the value of 5/3x, we subtract 11/3 from both sides of the equation:
5/3x + 11/3 - 11/3 = -4/3 - 11/3
5/3x = -15/3
5/3x = -5
To isolate x, we need to multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 5/3, which is 3/5:
(3/5) * (5/3x) = (3/5) * (-5)
(3/5)(5/3)x = -15/5
1x = -15/5
x = -15/5
Therefore, the solution to the equation 5/3x + 11/3 = -4/3 is x = -15/5.
