Question 596020: Please check my work:
Evaluation Problem: -8x - 22 = -27 1/3
3[-8x - 22] = 3(-27) x 3(1/3)
-24x - 66 = -81
-24x = -81 - +66
-24x = -15
x= 5/8

-8x+-+22+=+-27%261%2F3

-8x+-+22+=+-%2827%2B1%2F3%29

-8x+-+22+=+-27-1%2F3

3%28-8x%29+%2B+3%28-22%29+=+3%28-27%29-3%281%2F3%29

-24x+-+66+=+-81-1

-24x+-+66+=+-82

-24x++=+-82+%2B+66

-24x++=+-16

x++=+-16%2F%28-24%29

x++=+2%2F3
