Question

3x- 5=1 what does x represent

Answer 1

The real answer is x= 2
not 5/3

Answer 2

x= 5/3

Explanation:

3x- 5 = 1

first you have to move the constant or in this case the 5 to the other side to isolate x so to do that you have to ad 5 from both sides, that way itll cancel out from the left and add on the right

3x= 5

now, to isolate x, we have to divide by 3, that way you get

x= 5/3
