Add 5/3 to both sides
1/3 + 5/3 = 6/3 = 2
**Same denominator so just add the numerators**
Multiply by 4 on both sides
**This cancels out the 1/4, **
Add 1/2 on both sides
8 + 1/2 = 16/2 + 1/2 = 17/2
**Different denominators so rewrite 8 as a fraction with 2 as denominator**
Divide by 5 on both sides
**Remember dividing by 5 is equivalent to multiplying by 1/5**
