Answer:

x = 10

Explanation:


(1)/(5)x-(2)/(3)= (4)/(3)\\\\

Add 2/3 to both sides


(1)/(5)x-(2)/(3)+(2)/(3)=(4)/(3)+(2)/(3)\\\\\\(1)/(5)x=(6)/(3)\\\\\\(1)/(5)x=2\\\\

Multiply both sides by 5


5*(1)/(5)x=2*5\\

x = 10

Answer:

x=10

Explanation:

1/5(x)-2/3=4/3

Add 2/3 to each side

1/5(x)-2/3+ 2/3=4/3+2/3

1/5x = 6/3

1/5 x = 2

Multiply each side by 5

1/5x *5 = 2*5

x = 10
