Cancel \(1\) on both sides.
\[-6\times \frac{x}{3}-3=-5\times \frac{x}{6}\]
Simplify \(6\times \frac{x}{3}\) to \(2x\).
\[-2x-3=-5\times \frac{x}{6}\]
Simplify \(5\times \frac{x}{6}\) to \(\frac{5x}{6}\).
\[-2x-3=-\frac{5x}{6}\]
Multiply both sides by \(6\).
\[-12x-18=-5x\]
Add \(12x\) to both sides.
\[-18=-5x+12x\]
Simplify \(-5x+12x\) to \(7x\).
\[-18=7x\]
Divide both sides by \(7\).
\[-\frac{18}{7}=x\]
Switch sides.
\[x=-\frac{18}{7}\]
Decimal Form: -2.571429
x=-18/7
