Question

$$2x+\frac{5}{3}=\frac{26-x}{3}$$

Solve for x

$x=3$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by $3$.

$$6x+5=26-x$$

Add $x$ to both sides.

$$6x+5+x=26$$

Combine $6x$ and $x$ to get $7x$.

$$7x+5=26$$

Subtract $5$ from both sides.

$$7x=26-5$$

Subtract $5$ from $26$ to get $21$.

$$7x=21$$

Divide both sides by $7$.

$$x=\frac{21}{7}$$

Divide $21$ by $7$ to get $3$.

$$x=3$$
