Answer: x = 68/3
Step-by-step explanation: 2/3x - 1/9 + 5 = 20
Combine the fractions: 5 - 1/9 = 44/9
44/9 + ⅔x = 20
Subtract 44/9 from both sides: 44/9 + ⅔x - 44/9 = 20 - 44/9
Simplify: ⅔x = 136/9
Multiply both sides by 3: 3 x ⅔x = 136 x 3 divided by 9
Simplify: 2x = 136/3
Divide both sides by two: 2x/2 = 136/3 divided by two
Simplify: x = 68/3
