The first step for solving this equation is to distribute [tex] \frac{1}{3} [/tex] through the first set of parenthesis.
[tex] \frac{1}{3}x + \frac{7}{3} [/tex] = (9x) × [tex] \frac{1}{3} [/tex]
Remove the parenthesis.
[tex] \frac{1}{3}x + \frac{7}{3} [/tex] = 9x × [tex] \frac{1}{3} [/tex]
Reduce the numbers on the right side of the equals sign with 3.
[tex] \frac{1}{3}x + \frac{7}{3} [/tex] = 3x
Now multiply both sides of the equation by 3.
x + 7 = 9x
Move the constant to the right side and then change its sign.
x = 9x - 7
Move the variable to the left side and change its sign.
x - 9x = -7
-8x = -7
Lastly,, divide both sides of the equation by -8 to find your final answer.
x = [tex] \frac{7}{8} [/tex]
