Solve 5/3x+1/3x=131/3+8/3x

$$\frac { 5 } { 3 } x + \frac { 1 } { 3 } x = 13 \frac { 1 } { 3 } + \frac { 8 } { 3 } x$$

Solve for x

$$x=-20$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by 3.

$$5x+1x=13\times 3+1+8x$$

Combine 5x and 1x to get 6x.

$$6x=13\times 3+1+8x$$

Multiply 13 and 3 to get 39.

$$6x=39+1+8x$$

Add 39 and 1 to get 40.

$$6x=40+8x$$

Subtract 8x from both sides.

$$6x-8x=40$$

Combine 6x and -8x to get -2x.

$$-2x=40$$

Divide both sides by -2.

$$x=\frac{40}{-2}$$

Divide 40 by -2 to get -20.

$$x=-20$$
