4/3x-1/3=x+7
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Move  x  from right side to left side, changing sign.


Move  -1/3  from left side to right side, changing sign.


You will get

    %284%2F3%29x - x = 7 + 1%2F3.


Combine like terms

    %281%2F3%29x = 71%2F3.


Multiply both sides by 3

    x = 22.


At this point, the solution is complete.


ANSWER.  The solution to this equation is x= 22.

Solved.
