Answer:
x= -31/32
Step-by-step explanation:
Given 5 1/3 x+8 1/2 =3 1/3 , write in improper fraction as
[tex]\frac{16}{3} x+\frac{17}{2} =\frac{10}{3}[/tex]
Multiply each term by the l.c.m where in this case its 6
16/3*6 x+ 17/2*6 =10/3*6
32x +51 = 20
collect like terms
32 x= 20-51
32x = -31
Divide both sides by 32
x=-31/32 = -1 1/32
