    3X/5 – 2 = X + 1/3

    9X – 30 = 15X + 5

    6X = –35

    X = –35/6

    That equation doesn't contain x. Do you want to solve for X?

    X = -35/6

    how many times are you going to ask this?

    learn to use parans, this is very ambiguous

    first guess

    (3X/5) – 2 = X + (1/3)

    multiply by 15

    9X – 30 = 15X + 5

    9X – 15X = 5 + 30

    –6X = 35

    X = –35/6

    (3x)/5 - 2 = x + 1/3

    9x - 30 = 15x + 5

    -35 = 6x

    x = -35/6

    3x/5 - 2 = x + 1/3 =>

    3x/5 - x = 1/3 + 2 =>

    -2x/5 = 7/3 =>

    x = -35/6.
