$$x+8/3=-4/3$$

$x=-4$

Fraction $\frac{-4}{3}$ can be rewritten as $-\frac{4}{3}$ by extracting the negative sign.

$$x+\frac{8}{3}=-\frac{4}{3}$$

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

$$x=-\frac{4}{3}-\frac{8}{3}$$

Since $-\frac{4}{3}$ and $\frac{8}{3}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{-4-8}{3}$$

Subtract $8$ from $-4$ to get $-12$.

$$x=\frac{-12}{3}$$

Divide $-12$ by $3$ to get $-4$.

$$x=-4$$
