The sum of 6 and one-third of x is one more than twice x, find x
- x = 7
- x = 5
-
x = 3
- x = 2
The correct answer is: C
Explanation
6 = \(\frac{1}{3}x\) = 1 + 2x6 = 1 = \(\frac{2x}{1} - \frac{x}{3}\)
5 = \(\frac{6x - x}{3} = \frac{5x}{3}\)
5 = \(\frac{5x}{3}\)
3 x 5 = 5x
15 = 5x
x = \(\frac{15}{5}\)
= 3
