I need help. I'm stuck on this one

Answer 1

First, simplify both sides of your equation.

$\frac{8}{3}$ $=x+ \frac{-5}{9}$

Second, flip your equation.

$x + \frac{-5}{9} = \frac{3}{8}$

Finally, add $\frac{5}{9}$ to both of the sidee.

$x+ \frac{-5}{9} + \frac{5}{9} = \frac{3}{8} + \frac{5}{9}$

$x= \frac{67}{72}$

Final Answer-

$x= \frac{67}{72}$

Answer 2

Add 5/9 to both sides. common denominator would be 72 so you would multiply the top and bottom of 3/8 by 9 (bc 9x8 is 72) to get 27/72. you would multiply top and bottom of 5/9 by 8 to get 40/72 and you would add 40+27 which equals 67 so x=67/72 i believe
