x+3=\frac{8}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
x=\frac{8}{3}-3
Subtract 3 from both sides.
x=\frac{8}{3}-\frac{9}{3}
Convert 3 to fraction \frac{9}{3}.
x=\frac{8-9}{3}
Since \frac{8}{3} and \frac{9}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
x=-\frac{1}{3}
Subtract 9 from 8 to get -1.
