Explanation:

Sure, here's an example of a three-step equation where the solution is1: 3x−2=5

Now, let's solve it step by step:

Add 2 to both sides:

3x−2+2=5+2

3x=7

Divide by 3:

$(3x)/(3) =(7)/(3) \\x=(7)/(3)$

So, in this case, the solution is
x=(7)/(3) , which is equivalent to 1 when expressed as a mixed number (1 and 1/3).
