Answer:

x = 9/5 = 1 4/5

Explanation:

5x - 6 = 3

+6 +6

(add positive 6 to the negative 6 = - 6 + 6 = 0, and to the answer = 3 = 3 + 6 = 9)

5x = 9

÷5 ÷5

x = 9/5 (improper fraction)

= 1 4/5 (mixed numeral)

Hello.

First, let's add 6 to both sides:


\tt{5x-6+6=3+6}


\tt{5x=9}

The next step is to divide both sides by 5:


\tt{x=\displaystyle(9)/(5) (Improper fraction)


\tt{x=\displaystyle1(4)/(5) (Mixed number)

I hope it helps.

Have a great day.
