Question

5=1 2/3x how do I solve for x?

Answer 1

You'll first Cross multiply: 5× 3x

that'll give you 15x.

15x=12(12 is a numerical constant).

Divide both sides by the the coefficient of X .That is 15x/15= 12/15

Therefore the answer is 12/15= x

Answer 2

`\huge\textbf{Hey there!}`

`\mathsf{5 = 1 (2)/(3)x}`

`\mathsf{1 (2)/(3)x = 5}`

`\mathsf{(1*3 + 2)/(3)x= 5}`

`\mathsf{(3 + 2)/(3)x = 5}`

`\mathsf{(5)/(3)x = 5}`

`\large\text{MULTIPLY }\rm{(3)/(5)}\large\text{ to BOTH SIDES}`

`\mathsf{(3)/(5)*(5)/(3)x = (3)/(5)*5}`

`\large\text{SIMPLIFY IT!}`

`\mathsf{x = (3)/(5)*5}`

`\mathsf{x = (3)/(5)*(5)/(1)}`

`\mathsf{x = (3*5)/(5*1)}`

`\mathsf{x = (15)/(5)}`

`\mathsf{x = (15/5)/(5/5)}`

`\mathsf{x = (3)/(1)}`

`\mathsf{x = 3/1}`

`\mathsf{x = 3}`

`\huge\text{Therefore, your answer: \boxed{\mathsf{x = 3}}}\huge\checkmark`
