Question

Solve 5/3x + 1/3x = 13 1/3 + 8/3x then identify x.

Answer 1

After solving $\frac{5}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}x=13\frac{1}{3}+\frac{8}{3}x$ we get value of x = -20

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the fractions and find value of x.

The given fraction is:

$\frac{5}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}x=13\frac{1}{3}+\frac{8}{3}x$

Solving:

$\frac{5}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}x=13\frac{1}{3}+\frac{8}{3}x\\\frac{5}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}x=\frac{40}{3}+\frac{8}{3}x\\ Subtract\,\,\frac{8}{3}x\,\,on\,\,both\,\,sides:\\ \frac{5}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}x-\frac{8}{3}x=\frac{40}{3}+\frac{8}{3}x-\frac{8}{3}x\\Simplifying:\\ \frac{5x+1x-8x}{3}=\frac{40}{3}\\ \frac{-2x}{3}=\frac{40}{3}\\Multiply\,\,both\,\,sides\,\,by\,\,3\\-2x=40\\x=\frac{40}{-2}\\x=-20$

So, After solving $\frac{5}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}x=13\frac{1}{3}+\frac{8}{3}x$ we get value of x = -20
