Question

3 times x plus one third equals one third times x plus 3

Answer 1

The solution to the equation
`\(3x + (1)/(3) = (1)/(3)x + 3\)` is x = 1, obtained by eliminating fractions, simplifying, and solving for x.

Let's solve the equation for x:

`\[3x + (1)/(3) = (1)/(3)x + 3\]`

First, eliminate fractions by multiplying both sides by 3:

9x + 1 = x + 9

Now, subtract x from both sides:

8x + 1 = 9

Subtract 1 from both sides:

8x = 8

Finally, divide by 8:

x = 1

So, the solution to the equation is x = 1.

The complete question is:
Solve for x:

3 times x plus one third equals one third times x plus 3
