Solve 8-3x/5=-7/3=

$$\frac { 8 - 3 x } { 5 } = \frac { - 7 } { 3 } =$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{59}{9} = 6\frac{5}{9} \approx 6.555555556$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by 15, the least common multiple of 5,3.

$$3\left(8-3x\right)=5\left(-7\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 8-3x.

$$24-9x=5\left(-7\right)$$

Multiply 5 and -7 to get -35.

$$24-9x=-35$$

Subtract 24 from both sides.

$$-9x=-35-24$$

Subtract 24 from -35 to get -59.

$$-9x=-59$$

Divide both sides by -9.

$$x=\frac{-59}{-9}$$

Fraction \frac{-59}{-9} can be simplified to \frac{59}{9} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

$$x=\frac{59}{9}$$
