13
14
23
10

Answer 1

\( \color{Black}{\Rightarrow \Large{x - 5 \over 3} = 6 }\)

Is that your question?

Answer 2

the answer is 23

Answer 3

\( \color{Black}{\Rightarrow \Large{x - 5 \over \color{Blue}{\cancel3}} \times \cancel 3 = 6 \times 3 }\)

\( \color{Black}{\Rightarrow x - 5 = 18 }\)

\( \color{Black}{\Rightarrow x = 23 }\)

Answer 4

first get rid of the fraction. multiply by 3 both side. so you will get x-5=18 then add 5 and you will get your answer

Answer 5

You must multiply 3 to both sides, it'd be cancelled from the denominator. Then add 5 to both sides.
