Answer 1

x=9

Explanation:

1/3(x+7)=5 1/3

5 1/3=16/3

1/3(x+7)=16/3

x+7=(16/3)/(1/3)

x+7=(16/3)(3/1)

x+7=16/1

x+7=16

x=16-7

x=9

Answer 2

x = 9

Explanation:

Now we have to,

→ Find the required value of x.

The equation is,

→ (1/3)(x + 7) = 5 1/3

Then the value of x will be,

→ (1/3)(x + 7) = 5 1/3

→ (x + 7)/3 = 16/3

→ x + 7 = (16/3) × 3

→ x + 7 = 48/3

→ x + 7 = 16

→ x = 16 - 7

→ [ x = 9 ]

Hence, the value of x is 9.
