Answer
x = 6
Work Step by Step
$\frac{2}{9}x - \frac{1}{3} = 1$
Add $\frac{1}{3}$ to both sides:
$\frac{2}{9}x = 1 \frac{1}{3}$
Multiply both sides by the reciprocal of the coefficient, $\frac{9}{2}$:
$\frac{9}{2}(\frac{2}{9}x) = (1 \frac{1}{3})\frac{9}{2}$
Simplify:
x = $(\frac{4}{3})\frac{9}{2}$
x = 6
