step one is to convert the 2/3
since the 9 is divisable by the 3 = 3
now multiply the 2 by this 3 = 6
thus the equation is:
6/9 + x = 8/9
now subtract the 6/9 from 8/9 = 2/9

Isolate and solve for X
First make things the same.
6/9+x=8/9
answer is 2/9
6/9+2/9=8/9

2/3 + x = 8/9
Step 1 is to subtract 2/3 from each side of the equation giving:
x = 8/9- 2/3
Step 2 is to convert 2/3 to its equal 6/9 giving:
x= 8/9 -6/9
Step 3 is to combine 8/9-6/9 to its equal 2/9 giving:
x = 2/9
Pretty simple, don't you think?

it is equal to:
6/9+x=8/9 /multiply by 9
6+9x= 8 /minus 6
9x= 2 /divided by 9
x= 2/9

x = 8/9 - 2/3
x = (8 - 6) /9
x = 2/9

i have taken your sum as
2/(3+x)=8/9
cross multiplying
18=24+8x
8x=-6
x=-3/4
