The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \(3x - \frac{5}{3} = x - 3\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Move all terms involving \(x\) to one side of the equation. We start with the equation: \[ 3x - \frac{5}{3} = x - 3 \] Subtract \(x\) from both sides: \[ 3x - x - \frac{5}{3} = -3 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2x - \frac{5}{3} = -3 \] ### Step 2: Move the constant term to the other side. Now, we add \(\frac{5}{3}\) to both sides: \[ 2x = -3 + \frac{5}{3} \] To perform this addition, we need a common denominator. The common denominator for 3 and 1 is 3. So, we rewrite \(-3\) as \(-\frac{9}{3}\): \[ 2x = -\frac{9}{3} + \frac{5}{3} \] Now, combine the fractions: \[ 2x = \frac{-9 + 5}{3} = \frac{-4}{3} \] ### Step 3: Solve for \(x\). Now, divide both sides by 2: \[ x = \frac{-4}{3} \div 2 = \frac{-4}{3} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{-4}{6} = \frac{-2}{3} \] ### Step 4: Check the solution. We need to verify that \(x = \frac{-2}{3}\) satisfies the original equation. We will substitute \(x\) back into the left and right sides of the equation. **Left Side:** \[ 3x - \frac{5}{3} = 3\left(\frac{-2}{3}\right) - \frac{5}{3} \] Calculating this gives: \[ = -2 - \frac{5}{3} \] To combine these, we convert \(-2\) to a fraction with a denominator of 3: \[ -2 = -\frac{6}{3} \] So, \[ -\frac{6}{3} - \frac{5}{3} = -\frac{11}{3} \] **Right Side:** \[ x - 3 = \frac{-2}{3} - 3 \] Again, convert \(-3\) to a fraction: \[ -3 = -\frac{9}{3} \] So, \[ \frac{-2}{3} - \frac{9}{3} = \frac{-11}{3} \] Since both sides equal \(-\frac{11}{3}\), our solution is verified. ### Final Answer: \[ x = \frac{-2}{3} \]
