Answer:

x=3

Explanation:

Hello,

The first thing you do is set up your equation, and we are solving for x so we are going to get x by itself on one side of the = sign.

2x/3+1=3 First thing: subtract 1 from BOTH sides.

-1 -1

----------------------

2x/3=2 Multipliy by 3 on both sides

*3 *3

-----------------------

2x=6 Divide by 2 on both sides

/2 /2

-----------------------

x=3

I hope this helped you!!!
