Question

What is the answer to 2/3x + 1 = 5

Answer 1

Let's solve the equation step-by-step

In the last question I've answered for you, I've said it can be a little bit easier to work out a math problem with first rewriting it. So, let's do that --

2/3x + 1 = 5

Step 1) Subtract 1 from both sides

2/3x + 1 - 1 = 5 - 1

2/3x = 4

Step 2) Multiply both sides by 3/2

(3/2) × (2/3x) = (3/2) × (4)

x = 6

FINAL ANSWER -

x = 6

Answer 2

Here are the steps. I'll try to make them as easy as possible :)

2/3x+1=5

Step 1: Subtract 1 from both sides.
2/x+1-1=5-1

Step 2: Multiply both sides from 3/2

(3/2)*(2/3x)=(3/2)*(4)

And the answer will be 6
x=6
