Question

What is x equal to: 3x=1

Answer 1

`\large \boxed{x=(1)/(3) }`

Explanation:

`3x=1`

We need to solve for the x variable. It is best to isolate the variable on one side of the equation to find the value that makes the equation true.

Divide both sides of the equation by 3.

`\displaystyle (3x)/(3) =(1)/(3)`

Simplify the equation.

`\displaystyle x=(1)/(3)`

Answer 2

x =
`(1)/(3)`

Explanation:

Step 1: Solve

We can divide 3 from both sides to get "x" by itself

`3x=1\\(3x)/(3) =(1)/(3) \\x = (1)/(3)`

Therefore x =
`(1)/(3)`
