Answer: [tex]x=6[/tex]
Subtract 1 from both sides
[tex]2/3x+1-1=5-1[/tex]
[tex]2/3x=4[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 3/2
[tex](3/2)*(2/3x)=(3/2)*4\\x=6[/tex]
Answer: x=6
Step-by-step explanation:
problem: 2/3x + 1 =5
step 1: subtract 1 from both sides
2/3x+1-1=5-1 .... simplify .... 2/3x=4
step 2: multiply both sides by 3/2
x=6
