Solve 3x=3/3-7/3

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

Solve for x

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

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide 3 by 3 to get 1.

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

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, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

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

Subtract 7 from 3 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.

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

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.

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