Answer 1

D Multiply by 3

Explanation:

In solving for

`\frac{x}3} -5 = 8`

The first step would be as follows:

`(x)/(3) = 13`

We add 5 to both sides to isolate the variable from the coefficients. then we would multiply the fraction by its recipricol to cancel out the fraction as shown:

`(x)/(3) * (3)/(x) = `13 * (3)/(x)`

If we wanted to solve for the whole problem, it would then look like this:

`(13)/(1) * (3)/(x) = (39)/(x)`

Then multiply by x to get rid of the fraction and get the result as

`x = 39`

To check our answer, lets put our x-value back in to see if it works.

`(39)/(3) - 5 = 8\\39/3 = 13\\13-5 = 8`

Therefore, our answer is correct.

Hope this helps! :)
