-\frac{2}{3}-\frac{2}{3}\left(-1\right)x=1-x
Use the distributive property to multiply -\frac{2}{3} by 1-x.
-\frac{2}{3}+\frac{2}{3}x=1-x
Multiply -\frac{2}{3} and -1 to get \frac{2}{3}.
-\frac{2}{3}+\frac{2}{3}x+x=1
Add x to both sides.
-\frac{2}{3}+\frac{5}{3}x=1
Combine \frac{2}{3}x and x to get \frac{5}{3}x.
\frac{5}{3}x=1+\frac{2}{3}
Add \frac{2}{3} to both sides.
\frac{5}{3}x=\frac{3}{3}+\frac{2}{3}
Convert 1 to fraction \frac{3}{3}.
\frac{5}{3}x=\frac{3+2}{3}
Since \frac{3}{3} and \frac{2}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{5}{3}x=\frac{5}{3}
Add 3 and 2 to get 5.
x=\frac{5}{3}\times \frac{3}{5}
Multiply both sides by \frac{3}{5}, the reciprocal of \frac{5}{3}.
x=1
Cancel out \frac{5}{3} and its reciprocal \frac{3}{5}.
