Explanation:

The expression is 1/6x+3=7

1/6x+3=7

First, you subtract 3 from both sides

1/6x=4

Then you divide 1/6 from both sides

Dividing fractions is confusing, so I will show you how to do it

4/1 / 1/6

Because you can't divide 1 by 6, you KCF, or keep change flip.

You keep the 4/1, you change the operation to multiplication, and flip 1/6 to make it 6/1.

Now the problem is 4x6=24

So x=24
