x=
6x = 12 + 3
6x = 15
x = 15/6
x = 2.5
2 / 3 x 2.5 + 5
1.66666667 + 5
= 6.6 (recurring)
I hope this is correct (so sorry if it isn't!)

First, you need to find the value of x.
6x - 3 = 12
x =?
(6 × ?) - 3 = 12
The number that is 3 more than 12 is 15. 15 ÷ 6 = 2.5.
(6 × 2.5) - 3 = 12

So, 2.5 is the value of x.


(2)/(3) x + 5 = ?

(2)/(3) (2.5) + 5 = 6.66666666667

The answer is 6.66666666667 ≈ 6.6
