Solve for x:
6x-3%2B2x%2B1%2F3%2B%284x%2F3%29+=+0 First, multiply everything by 3 to clear the fractions.
3%286x-3%2B2x%2B1%2F3%2B%284x%2F3%29%29+=+0 Simplify. Apply the distributive property.
18x-9%2B6x%2B1%2B4x+=+0 Combine like-terms.
%2818x%2B6x%2B4x%29%2B%28-9%2B1%29+=+0
28x-8+=+0 Add 8 to both sides.
28x+=+8 Divide both sides by 28.
x+=+8%2F28 Reduce.
x+=+2%2F7
