To isolate x, we first need to subtract 11/3 from both sides of the equation:

5/3x + 11/3 - 11/3 = -4/3 - 11/3

This simplifies to:

5/3x = -15/3

Next, we want to get rid of the fraction on the left side by multiplying both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 5/3, which is 3/5:

(3/5)(5/3x) = (3/5)(-15/3)

On the left side, the 5/3 and 3/5 cancel out, leaving us with just x:

x = (-45/15) * (1/1)

Simplifying the right side:

x = -45/15

The solution to the equation is x = -45/15.
