Solve - 5/3x + 7/3 = - 5

x = 24/15 = 8/3 = 2 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

remember what you do to the left you must do to the right.

I converted the - 5 to - 15/3 so I could easily add or subtract

-5/3 x = - 8/3

multiply both sides by - 3/5 to cancel the coefficient of the x

x = - 8/3 * - 3/5 = 24/15
