Answer:
x = -12
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the variable (x). Do the opposite of PEMDAS. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other.
(x/9) - (1/3) = -5/3
x/9 -1/3 (+1/3) = -5/3 (+1/3)
x/9 = -4/3
Isolate the variable x. Multiply 9 to both sides.
(x/9)(9) = (-4/3)(9)
x = -36/3
Divide. Simplify the answer.
x = (-36/3) = -12
-12 is your answer.
