Question

Solve the equation Quantity x plus 1 all over 3 = 2 for x. Please show your work and solution.

Answer 1

so you have

x+1
---- = 2
3

Answer 2

\[\frac{x+1}{3}=2\]??

Answer 3

Follow these steps:
1) Multiply both sides by 3
2)subtract both sides by 1

Answer 4

1) multiply both sides by 3
) subtract 1 from both sides

Answer 5

idk how to do that

Answer 6

i don't believe you
what is \(3\times 2\) ?

Answer 7

6

Answer 8

\[\frac{x+1}{3}=2\]
\[\frac{x+1}{3}\times 3=2\times 3\]\[\frac{x+1}{\cancel{3}}\times \cancel{3}=2\times 3\]
\[x+1=6\]

Answer 9

i figured you could multiply 2 times 3 and get 6, maybe what wasn't clear is if you multiply the left side by 3, the denominator goes, leaving only \(x+1\) on the left

Answer 10

so that's the answer?

Answer 11

not quite, almost though
what number would you add one to in order to get 6 ?

Answer 12

Hope this will let you understand what you should be doing on this problem ..

( X + 1) / 3 = 2

2. Multiply both sides of the equation by 3

[(X+1)/3] * 3 = 2 * 3

3/3 = 1, and 1 times anything is that thing itself, so (X+1) * 3 /3 = X+1

And 2 * 3 = 6, of course.

X + 1 = 6

3. Subtract 1 from both sides to give the variable, X, by itself

X+1 - 1 = 6 - 1

X + 0 = 5

X = 5
