Solve 5+x+5/3=7

$$5 + x + \frac { 5 } { 3 } = 7$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{1}{3}\approx 0.333333333$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

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

$$\frac{15}{3}+x+\frac{5}{3}=7$$

Since \frac{15}{3} and \frac{5}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{15+5}{3}+x=7$$

Add 15 and 5 to get 20.

$$\frac{20}{3}+x=7$$

Subtract \frac{20}{3} from both sides.

$$x=7-\frac{20}{3}$$

Convert 7 to fraction \frac{21}{3}.

$$x=\frac{21}{3}-\frac{20}{3}$$

Since \frac{21}{3} and \frac{20}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{21-20}{3}$$

Subtract 20 from 21 to get 1.

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