Answer 1

Answer: x=6

Explanation:

problem: 2/3x + 1 =5

step 1: subtract 1 from both sides

2/3x+1-1=5-1 .... simplify .... 2/3x=4

step 2: multiply both sides by 3/2

x=6

Answer 2

Answer:
`x=6`

Subtract 1 from both sides

`2/3x+1-1=5-1`

`2/3x=4`

Multiply both sides by 3/2

`(3/2)*(2/3x)=(3/2)*4\\x=6`
