Distribute the 1/3

Add 2 to both sides

"Make zeros" on the left side

Change the 2 to 15ths

Add like terms on the right side

Add 2x/5 to both sides

"Make zeros" on the right

Change 1/3 to 15ths (common denominators)

Change 2/5 to 15ths (common denominators)

combine like terms

Since it is an equation, and the denominators are the same ... drop them.

divide by 11 on both sides
