Answer:
[tex]{x = -6}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Note: * = times (x)
[tex]\huge {\frac{2}{3} x + 5 = 1}\\[/tex]
Let's isolate the x
We can do this via inverse operations.
[tex]\frac{2}{3}x + 5 = 1\\-5 \hspace9 \hspace9 -5\\\\\frac{2}{3}x = -4\\ * 3 \hspace9 *3\\\\2x = -12[/tex]
Now that we've isolated the x, we want to simplify it. We do this so we can make x by itself as just x instead of 6x.
[tex]\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{-12}{2} \\\\\frac{2x}{2} = x\\\\\frac{-12}{2} = -6\\\\\huge\boxed {x = -6}[/tex]
