Answer: x = − 116/3
Explanation:
Evaluate 5/3x + 1/3 = 13/1/3 +8/3x
Multiply the numbers 5x/3 + 1/3 = 13/1/3 + 8/3x
Simplify 5x/3 + 1/3 = 39 + 8x/3
Multiply both sides 5x/3 × 3 + 1/3 × 3 = 39 × 3+ 8/3x × 3
Simplify the expression 5x+1=117+8x
Move the variable to the left side 5x+1−8x=117
Subtract the terms −3x+1=117
Move the constant to the right side −3x=117−1
Subtract the terms −3x=116
Divide both sides −3x/-3 = 116/-3
Simplify −3x/-3 = 116/-3
Solution x = − 116/3
