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

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{x}{9}-\frac{1}{3} =\frac{-5}{3}\\\\\frac{x}{9}=\frac{-5}{3}+\frac{1}{3}\\\\\frac{x}{9}=\frac{-5+1}{3}\\\\\frac{x}{9}=\frac{-4}{3}\\\\x=\frac{-4}{3}*9\\\\x=-4*3\\\\x=-12$
