Question

$$5-3x=-3$$

Solve for x

$x = \frac{8}{3} = 2\frac{2}{3} \approx 2.666666667$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $5$ from both sides.

$$-3x=-3-5$$

Subtract $5$ from $-3$ to get $-8$.

$$-3x=-8$$

Divide both sides by $-3$.

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

Fraction $\frac{-8}{-3}$ can be simplified to $\frac{8}{3}$ by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

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