Question

Could someone help please

Answer 1

x = 24 , x = 20

Explanation:

(a)

`(x)/(3)` - 2 = 6 ( add 2 to both sides )

`(x)/(3)` = 8 ( multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction )

x = 24

(b)

`(x)/(5)` + 1 = 5 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

`(x)/(5)` = 4 ( multiply both sides by 5 to clear the fraction )

x = 20

Answer 2

Explanation:

1. x/3-2=6

x-6=18

x=18+6

x=24

2. x/5+1=5

x+5=25

x=25-5

x=20
