Explanation:

I'm not sure if the question is
(1)/(3)x + 3 = 13 or
(1)/(3x) + 3 = 13, so we can do both:


(1)/(3)x + 3 = 13

First, let's subtract
3 from both sides to isolate the
x on the left-hand side:


(1)/(3)x = 10

Next, let's multiply both sides by
3 to get
x by itself:


x = 30


(1)/(3x) + 3 = 13

First, let's subtract
3 from both sides to isolate the
x on the left-hand side:


(1)/(3x) = 10

Next, we can take the reciprocal of both sides to get rid of the fraction on the side with
x:


3x = (1)/(10)

Next, we can divide both sides by
3 to get
x by itself:


x = (1)/(30)
