Explanation:

Answer 2

Factor the expression is
`(x-1)/(3)`.

Let's factor the expression:

​
`(1)/(3) x-(1)/(3)`

Steps to solve:

1. Combine multiplied terms into a single fraction:

`(1x)/(3) -(1)/(3)`

​2. Multiply by 1:

`(x)/(3) -(1)/(3)`

​3. Multiply the numbers:

`(x)/(3) -(1)/(3)`

​4. Combine fractions with common denominator:

`(x-1)/(3)`
