For this answer, just make sure to figure out the LCD; or Least Common Denominator and solve for #x# afterwards.

#-2/3=5/3v-5/9#

Since the Least Common Denominator is #9#, we can multiply the number into all of the terms to make them into easy-to-handle whole numbers.

#-6=15v-5#
#15v=-1#
#v=-1/15#

#-2/3 = 5/3v - 5/9# Equation

#-1/9 = 5/3v# Add #5/9# to #-2/3#

#v = -1/15# Divide both sides by #5/3#

I hope that helps.
