Answer:

Standard Form: 6/5 Mixed Number: 1 1/5 Decimal: 1.2

Explanation:

1. Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation

x/3 + 1 = 7/5

x/3 + 1 - 1 = 7/5 - 1

2. Simplify

2a.

x/3 + 1 - 1 = 7/5 - 1

x/3 = 7/5 - 1

2b.

x/3 = 7/5 - 1

x/3 = 2/5

3. Multiply all terms by the same value to eliminate fraction denominators

x/3 = 2/5

3 x x/3 = 3 x 2/5

4. Simplify

4a. Cancel multiplied terms that are in the denominator

cross out the threes in 3 x x/3 then you should get x = 3 x 2/5

4b. Multiply the numbers

x = 3 x 2/5

x = 6/5

And your answer should be 6/5|

I hope this helps you or anyone
