To solve the equation \( \frac{1}{3} - x = -\frac{2}{3} \), we will follow these steps:
### Step 1: Isolate the variable \( x \)
We start with the equation:
\[
\frac{1}{3} - x = -\frac{2}{3}
\]
To isolate \( x \), we can move \( -x \) to the right side of the equation. When we do this, the sign of \( -x \) changes to \( +x \):
\[
x = \frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{3}
\]
### Step 2: Combine the fractions
Now, we need to add the fractions on the right side. Since both fractions have the same denominator (3), we can add their numerators directly:
\[
x = \frac{1 + 2}{3} = \frac{3}{3}
\]
### Step 3: Simplify the fraction
Now we simplify \( \frac{3}{3} \):
\[
x = 1
\]
### Final Answer
Thus, the value of \( x \) is:
\[
x = 1
\]
