Question

5 -1/3 ×=1+x determine the solution to the equation ​

Answer 1

Answer: x = 3

Explanation:

5-1/3x=1+x

move the x over

5-1/3x-x=1+x-x

5-1 1/3x=1

subtract 5 to from sides

5-5-1 1/3x= 1-5

-1 1/3x = -4

divide -1 1/3x on both sides

-1 1/3x/-1 1/3 = -4/-1 1/3

-1 1/3 = -4/3

-4/-4/3

-4 times -3/4

x=3

Answer: 3
