The original equation is ![\"\"](\"/test/fckeditor/editor/plugins/fckeditor_wiris/integration/showimage.php?formula=68e476536116d1901f3d0bf7b051e33b.png\")
and value of x is -5/3.
To check the solution of the equation, substitute the value of x=-5/3 in the original equation.

.
The above statement is true, so x=-5/3 is a solution of the original equation.
