Solve 8-3x=128/3

$$8 - 3 x = 128 / 3$$

Solve for x

$$x = -\frac{104}{9} = -11\frac{5}{9} \approx -11.555555556$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 8 from both sides.

$$-3x=\frac{128}{3}-8$$

Convert 8 to fraction \frac{24}{3}.

$$-3x=\frac{128}{3}-\frac{24}{3}$$

Since \frac{128}{3} and \frac{24}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$-3x=\frac{128-24}{3}$$

Subtract 24 from 128 to get 104.

$$-3x=\frac{104}{3}$$

Divide both sides by -3.

$$x=\frac{\frac{104}{3}}{-3}$$

Express \frac{\frac{104}{3}}{-3} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{104}{3\left(-3\right)}$$

Multiply 3 and -3 to get -9.

$$x=\frac{104}{-9}$$

Fraction \frac{104}{-9} can be rewritten as -\frac{104}{9} by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-\frac{104}{9}$$
