Answer:
x = 8/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write equation
5 = 3x - 3
Step 2: Solve for x
Step 3: Check
Plug in x to verify it's a solution.
5 = 3(8/3) - 3
5 = 8 - 3
5 = 5
x= [tex]\frac{8}{3}[/tex]
5=3x-3
first, add 3 to both sides:
5 +3 = 3x-3 +3
8=3x
then, divide both sides by 3:
8 ÷3 = 3x ÷3
and the answer can be written as x = [tex]\frac{8}{3}[/tex] or x = 2[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
