For this case we must find the solution of the following equation:


x- \frac {2} {3} = 6 \frac {1} {3}

Rewriting the mixed number in the form of improper fraction we have:


x- \frac {2} {3} = \frac {3 * 6 + 1} {3}\\x- \frac {2} {3} = \frac {19} {3}

Add
\frac {2} {3} to both sides of the equation:


x = \frac {19} {3} + \frac {2} {3}

We add the fractions with the same denominator:


x = \frac {19 + 2} {3}\\x = \frac {21} {3}\\x = 7

So, the solution is
x = 7

Answer:


x = 7
