Show your work please;w;

Answer 1

`\boxed {x = (16)/(3)}`

Explanation:

Solve for the value of
`x`:

`6 = x + (2)/(3)`

-Switch sides:

`6 = x + (2)/(3)`

`x + (2)/(3) = 6`

-Subtract
`(2)/(3)` to both sides and convert 6 to a fraction:

`x + (2)/(3) - (2)/(3)= 6 - (2)/(3)`

`x = (18)/(3) - (2)/(3)`

-Since both fractions have the same denominator, then you subtract the numerators:

`x = (18 - 2)/(3)`

`\boxed {x = (16)/(3)}`

Therefore, the value of
`x` is
`(16)/(3)`.

Answer 2

x = 5 1/3

Explanation:

6 = x + 2/3

-2/3 -2/3

5 1/3 = x
