Answer:


\boxed {\tt x=3}

Explanation:

We want to solve for x, therefore we must isolate the variable.

We are given the equation:


(2x)/(3) +1=3

1 is being added to 2x/3. The inverse of addition is subtraction. Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation.


(2x)/(3)+1-1=3-1


(2x)/(3) =2

2x is being divided by 3. The inverse of division is multiplication. Multiply both sides by 3.


3*(2x)/(3) =2*3


2x=2*3


2x=6

x is being multiplied by 2. The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides of the equation by 2.


(2x)/(2) =(6)/(2)


x=(6)/(2)


x=3

The solution to the equation is x=3.
