Answer: x=1
Step-by-step explanation: Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :
7/3*x+1/3-(1+5/3)=0
Adding a fraction to a whole
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 3 as the denominator :
1= 1/1=1.3/3
Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole
Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator
Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:
3 + 5/3 =8 /3
Now, on the left hand side, the 3 cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.
The equation now takes the shape :
7 • (x-1) = 0
Solve : x-1 = 0
Add 1 to both sides of the equation :
x = 1
