Isolate the x. Subtract 1/3 from both sides
x + 1/3 (-1/3) = 9 (-1/3)
x = 8 3/3 - 1/3
x = 8 2/3
8 2/3 is your answer
hope this helps
X+1/3 =9
Subtract 1/3 from both sides
x= 9/1 - 1/3
Make both fractions have the same common denominator
x= 27/3 - 1/3
Subtract the numerators
Final Answer: 26/3 or 8 2/3
