Answer:
x = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
The solution means to solve for x. To solve for "x", isolate the variable. This means to separate it from everything else. Do this using reverse operations in reverse BEDMAS order.
2/3 x + 5 = 1
2/3 x + 5 - 5 = 1 - 5 Subtract 5 from both sides
2/3 x = -4
(2/3 x) / (2/3) = (-4) / (2/3) Divide both sides by 2/3
x = (-4) / (2/3)
x = -6 Solution
