Answer:

X=11. READ THE NOTE I LEFT AT THE END

Explanation:

you start by moving -2/3 to the other side and make it positive. Or you add 2/3 to each side and cancel.

This is what you get:

x=10 1/3 + 2/3

then you add the fractions:

x=10 3/3

3/3 is equal to one so you make it one.

x=10 1

add the 10 and the 1 to make 11

x=11

NOTE THAT THIS IS THE ANSWER IF THE RIGHT PART OF THE EQUATION IS A MIXED FRACTION. IF THEY ARE MULTIPLYING IN THE EQUATION TELL ME AND I WILL SOLVE IT AGAIN.

Answer:


x=11

Explanation:

First- convert
10 (1)/(3) using the fraction rules
a(b)/(c)


x-(2)/(3)=(10*3+1)/(3)

the we need to simplify


x-(2)/(3)= (30+1)/(3)


x-(2)/(3) =(31)/(3)


x=(31)/(3) +(2)/(3)


x=11
