Answer:

1 2/3 - 2/3

Explanation:

You get this answer by canceling out the x's since they are the both the same with both the numbers: 5/3 and 2/3. So then you convert 5/3 into 1 2/3 and finish the rest of the equation which would end up being 1 2/3 - 2/3.

Answer:

1 2/3 - 2/3

How to get it

5/3 simplifies into 1 and 2/3 and since you are doing addition and subtraction with x it cancels them out making it 1 and 2/3 minus 2/3, which would equal, 1, hope this helps!
