Solve 5x+8/3=7

$$5 x + \frac { 8 } { 3 } = 7$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{13}{15}\approx 0.866666667$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract \frac{8}{3} from both sides.

$$5x=7-\frac{8}{3}$$

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

$$5x=\frac{21}{3}-\frac{8}{3}$$

Since \frac{21}{3} and \frac{8}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$5x=\frac{21-8}{3}$$

Subtract 8 from 21 to get 13.

$$5x=\frac{13}{3}$$

Divide both sides by 5.

$$x=\frac{\frac{13}{3}}{5}$$

Express \frac{\frac{13}{3}}{5} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{13}{3\times 5}$$

Multiply 3 and 5 to get 15.

$$x=\frac{13}{15}$$
