Final answer:

To write the equation 7 - 5/9 = 2/3 without fractions, find a common denominator and simplify the equation to get the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the equation 7 - 5/9 = 2/3 without fractions, we need to find a common denominator for the fractions involved.

In this case, the common denominator is 9, since both 5/9 and 2/3 can be expressed with 9 as the denominator.

So the equation can be rewritten as 63/9 - 5/9 = 6/9.

Finally, simplifying the equation, we get 58/9 = 6/9, which is not true.

The correct answer is d) 7 = 5/9 + 2/3.
