The correct Answer is:
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: \[ x = 1 \] ---
