Answer:

x = 18

Explanation:

You need to get the equation where x is only on one side of the equation, so you would subtract one-half x from both sides of the equation, giving you a new equation of 3 = one-sixth x + 1. Now, subtract 1 from both sides to get 3 =
(1)/(6)x. To get rid of the one-sixth, you would multiply both sides by six to get x = 18
