Question

If x-1= k and k=3, what is the value of x
3
​

Answer 1

sub in the number
x-1=3
move 1 to the other side, making it positive
x=3+1
x=4

Answer 2

x-1/3 = k where k=3

We must be happy enough to find the value of only one valuable here, that is, x.

therefore, x-1/3=3

To find what is x-1, all we need to do is,

Take the denominator of the fraction to the answer (3)and multiply them. (that's how you'll find the values in the numerator)

So, you'll get,

x-1=3*3

x-1=9

To find the value of x,

The other number (-1) should be taken to the answer (9)

(Remember that the sign changes when the number crosses the equals sign)

therefore,

x= 9 + 1 (-1 will turn to +1 on crossing the equal sign)

Therefore , by addition, normally,

you'll get x=10

Hope this helps:)
