To solve this equation, first distribute the negative sign in front of the parentheses:
8 16/27 - x + 2 17/27 = 8 5/27
Combine like terms:
10 33/27 - x = 8 5/27
Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:
(1027 + 33)/27 - x = (827 + 5)/27
(270 + 33)/27 - x = (216 + 5)/27
303/27 - x = 221/27
Now, subtract 303/27 from both sides:
-x = 221/27 - 303/27
-x = -82/27
To solve for x, multiply both sides by -1:
x = 82/27
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 82/27.
