Solve (-4+2/3)=x9+5

$$(-4+ \frac{ 2 }{ 3 } )=x9+5$$

Solve for x_9

$$x_{9} = -\frac{25}{3} = -8\frac{1}{3} \approx -8.333333333$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Convert -4 to fraction -\frac{12}{3}.

$$-\frac{12}{3}+\frac{2}{3}=x_{9}+5$$

Since -\frac{12}{3} and \frac{2}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{-12+2}{3}=x_{9}+5$$

Add -12 and 2 to get -10.

$$-\frac{10}{3}=x_{9}+5$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$x_{9}+5=-\frac{10}{3}$$

Subtract 5 from both sides.

$$x_{9}=-\frac{10}{3}-5$$

Convert 5 to fraction \frac{15}{3}.

$$x_{9}=-\frac{10}{3}-\frac{15}{3}$$

Since -\frac{10}{3} and \frac{15}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x_{9}=\frac{-10-15}{3}$$

Subtract 15 from -10 to get -25.

$$x_{9}=-\frac{25}{3}$$
