5x/3 + 1/3 = 12 find x

Answer

X equals 7

Solution

Step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5/3 x + 1/3 = 12

Step 2: subtract 1/3 from both sides

5/3 x + 1/3 - 1/3 = 12 - 1/3

5/3 x = 35/3

Step 3 : multiply both sides by 3/5

(3/5) (5/3 x) = (3/5) (35/3)

X=7

x = 7.002 or 7

Step-by-step explanation:

5x/3 + 1/3 = 12

- 1/3 - 1/3

5x/3 = 11 2/3

3 (5x/3) = 3 (11 2/3)

5x = 35.01

x = 7.002 or 7
