Question

I need help. I'm stuck on this one

Answer 1

First, simplify both sides of your equation.


`(8)/(3)`
`=x+ (-5)/(9)`

Second, flip your equation.


`x + (-5)/(9) = (3)/(8)`

Finally, add
`(5)/(9)` to both of the sidee.


`x+ (-5)/(9) + (5)/(9) = (3)/(8) + (5)/(9)`


`x= (67)/(72)`

Final Answer-


`x= (67)/(72)`

Answer 2

add 5/9 to both sides. common denominator would be 72 so you would multiply the top and bottom of 3/8 by 9 (bc 9x8 is 72) to get 27/72. you would multiply top and bottom of 5/9 by 8 to get 40/72 and you would add 40+27 which equals 67 so x=67/72 i believe
