Question

Solve x/9 - 1/3 = -5/3. The solution of x is:

Answer 1

Answer:
`x=-12`

Simplify both sides of the equation

`1/9x+-1/3=-5/3`

Add 1/3 to both sides

`1/9x+-1/3+1/3=-5/3+1/3`

`1/9x=-4/3`

Multiply both sides by 9

`9*(1/9x)=9*(-4/3)`

Final Answer:
`x=-12`

Answer 2

Explanation:

`(x)/(9)-(1)/(3) =(-5)/(3)\\\\(x)/(9)=(-5)/(3)+(1)/(3)\\\\(x)/(9)=(-5+1)/(3)\\\\(x)/(9)=(-4)/(3)\\\\x=(-4)/(3)*9\\\\x=-4*3\\\\x=-12`
