Solve 3=-2/3x-1/3

Evaluate

3 = - \frac{2}{3} x - \frac{1}{3}

Swap the sides of the equation

- \frac{2}{3} x - \frac{1}{3} = 3

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

- \frac{2}{3} x = 3 + \frac{1}{3}

Add the numbers

More Steps

- \frac{2}{3} x = \frac{10}{3}

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

\frac{2}{3} x = - \frac{10}{3}

Multiply by the reciprocal

\frac{2}{3} x \times \frac{3}{2} = - \frac{10}{3} \times \frac{3}{2}

Multiply

x = - \frac{10}{3} \times \frac{3}{2}
