Question

Can i have help with this problem plz(X-1)1/3=2 ?

Answer 1

Solving for x gives x=7

Explanation:

First lets rewrite our equation clear, which from the question reads as :

`(x-1)(1)/(3)=2` Eqn(1).

This is a case of an equation with one variable (i.e. one uknown) denoted as
`x`.

The question is asking as to solve this equation and obtain the value of
`x`.

To do so we start by rewriting and simplifying the equation as follow:
`(x-1)(1)/(3)=2`

which is the same as

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

Here we have a fraction on the left hand side reading as
`((x-1))/(3)` and an integer on the right hand side as
`2`. Thus we move the denominator of the fraction, in this case
`3` to the right hand side where we multiply it with
`2`, to eliminate our fraction and solve for
`x` as follow:

`x-1 =2*3\\x-1=6\\x=6+1\\x=7`

(Note how we transferd
`-1` from the left hand side to the right hand side, the sign changed from negative to positive).
