I have been studying cybernetics and maths for a while plus I was making some money tutoring maths for a while too, therefore I know that people usually don't know anything about syntax and you have to try to think ahead..

Allright, here is the solution in steps for both cases anyway:

1) -25/27x + 8/9 = 1/3

-25/27 x = 1/3 - 8/9

x = [(1/3 - 8/9) * 27 ] / (- 25)

----------------------------------------


2) (-25)/(27x) + 8/9 = 1/3

(-25)/ (27x) = 1/3 - 8/9

-25 = (1/3 - 8/9) * 27x

-25 / [(1/3 - 8/9)*27] = x


I love to work with numbers ..
