Answer
x = $\frac{7}{2}$
Work Step by Step
$\frac{5}{3}x - \frac{7}{3} = x$
Subtract x from both sides:
$\frac{2}{3}x - \frac{7}{3} = 0$
Add $\frac{7}{3}$ to both sides:
$\frac{2}{3}x = \frac{7}{3}$
Multiply both sides by the reciprocal of the coefficient:
$\frac{3}{2}(\frac{2}{3}x) = \frac{7}{3}(\frac{3}{2})$
x = $\frac{7}{2}$
