5/3x+5=1/3x-3 what does x represent

5/3x+5=1/3x-3

move 1/3x to the other side

sign changes from + 1/3x to - 1/3x

5/3x-1/3x+5=1/3x-1/3x-3

5/3x-1/3x+5=-3

move + 5 to the other side

sign changes from + 5 to - 5

5/3x-1/3x+5-5=-3-5

5/3x-1/3x=-8

4/3x=-8

Multiply both sides by 3/4

4/3x (3/4) = -8 (3/4)

Cross out - 8 and 4, divide by 4 and then becomes - 2*3=-6

Answer: x=-6
