Answer:

x = 1/3

Explanation:

1. Remove parenthesis.

3x −5/3 = 11x −5

2. Multiply both sides by 33.

3x -5 = 33x -15

3. Subtract 3x3x from both sides.

-5 = 33x -15 -3x

4. Simplify 33x-15-3x33x−15−3x to 30x-15.

-5 = 30x - 15

5. Add 15 to both sides.

-5 + 15 = 30x

6. Simplify -5+15 to 10.

10 = 30x

7. Divide both sides by 30.

10/30 = x

8. Simplify 10/30 to 1/3

1/3 = x

9. Switch sides.

x = 1/3

Decimal Form: 0.333333

Question:-

solve it:-
\sf{(3x-5)/(3)=11x-5   }

Answer:


\dashrightarrow\bold{(3x-5)/(3)=11x-5   }


\dashrightarrow\bold{3 * (11x-5)=3x-5   }


\dashrightarrow\bold{(3 * 11x)-(3* 5)=3x-5   }


\dashrightarrow\bold{33x-15=3x-5   }


\longrightarrow \bold{33x-3x=-5+15   }


\longrightarrow \bold{30x=10   }


\mapsto\bold{x=(10)/(30)   }


\mapsto\bold{x=\frac{1\cancel{0}}{3\cancel{0}}   }


\hookrightarrow\tt{x=(1)/(3)   }
