Answer:
A. x = 24
B. x = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
→A. Add 2 to both sides:
[tex]\frac{x}{3} -2=6[/tex]
[tex]\frac{x}{3} =8[/tex]
→The fraction [tex]\frac{x}{3}[/tex] is really just [tex]\frac{1}{3}x[/tex]:
→Multiply 3 to both sides:
x = 24
→B. Subtract 1 from both sides:
[tex]\frac{x}{5} +1=5[/tex]
[tex]\frac{x}{5} =4[/tex]
The fraction [tex]\frac{x}5}[/tex] is really just [tex]\frac{1}{5}x[/tex]:
→Multiply 5 to both sides:
x = 20
