Solve -3x-7/3=-1

$$- 3 x - \frac { 7 } { 3 } = - 1$$

Solve for x

$$x=-\frac{4}{9}\approx -0.444444444$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add \frac{7}{3} to both sides.

$$-3x=-1+\frac{7}{3}$$

Convert -1 to fraction -\frac{3}{3}.

$$-3x=-\frac{3}{3}+\frac{7}{3}$$

Since -\frac{3}{3} and \frac{7}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$-3x=\frac{-3+7}{3}$$

Add -3 and 7 to get 4.

$$-3x=\frac{4}{3}$$

Divide both sides by -3.

$$x=\frac{\frac{4}{3}}{-3}$$

Express \frac{\frac{4}{3}}{-3} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{4}{3\left(-3\right)}$$

Multiply 3 and -3 to get -9.

$$x=\frac{4}{-9}$$

Fraction \frac{4}{-9} can be rewritten as -\frac{4}{9} by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-\frac{4}{9}$$
