Question

Solve 1/3x- 1 = 5.

A. x = 12
B. x = 18
C. x = 1
D. x=2

Answer 1

option B: x= 18

Explanation:

To solve 1/3x - 1 = 5, we can start by adding 1 to both sides of the equation:

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

Simplifying:

1/3x = 6

Multiplying both sides by 3:

3(1/3x) = 3(6)

Simplifying:

x = 18

Therefore, the solution is x = 18, which is option B.
