Solve the equation x+2 1/3 = 5 2/3 using inverse operations. (1 point)
x=
wrong
Apologies for the mistake. Let's try to solve the equation correctly.
To solve the equation x + 2 1/3 = 5 2/3 using inverse operations, we need to isolate the variable x by performing the opposite operations to both sides of the equation.
First, let's subtract 2 1/3 from both sides of the equation:
x + 2 1/3 - 2 1/3 = 5 2/3 - 2 1/3
This simplifies to:
x = 3 1/3
Therefore, the solution to the equation x + 2 1/3 = 5 2/3 is x = 3 1/3.
To solve the equation x + 2 1/3 = 5 2/3 using inverse operations, we need to isolate the variable x by performing the opposite operation to both sides of the equation.
First, we can subtract 2 1/3 from both sides to undo the addition. Since 2 1/3 can be converted to an improper fraction as 7/3, the equation becomes:
x + 7/3 - 7/3 = 5 2/3 - 7/3
x = 5/3
So, the solution to the equation x + 2 1/3 = 5 2/3 is x = 5/3.
