Answer:

[tex]x = \frac{16}{9 } [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Move constant to the right by adding its opposite to both sides

[tex]3x - \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{3} = 5 + \frac{1}{3} [/tex]

Since two opposites add up to zero, remove them from the expression

[tex]3x = 5 + \frac{1}{3} [/tex]

Calculate the sum

[tex]3x = 5 + \frac{1}{3} [/tex]

[tex]3x = \frac{16}{3} [/tex]

Divide both sides of the equation by 3

[tex]x = \frac{16}{9} [/tex]
