Answer 1

x =
`3(1)/(3)`

Explanation:

We are given the following expression which we are to solve for x and give the answer in a mixed form of fraction:

`\frac { 3 x } { 2 } = 5`

Taking the denominator to the other side of the equation and multiplying it to get:

`3x=10`

`x = \frac { 1 0 } { 3 }`

Writing it in mixed number:

`x = 3 \frac { 1 } { 3 }`
