Thank you

phi · Answer

can you multiply both sides by 5?  (that means write 5*  next to each side)
what do you get ?

dangerousjesse · Answer

Multiply both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.
Multiply both sides of $$\frac{(5 x-1)}{5} = 3 ~by~ 5:$$
$$\frac{5 (5 x-1)}{5} = 5×3$$

dangerousjesse · Answer

Cancel the common terms in the numerator and denominator after you've done that. You should get$$\frac{5(5x-1)}{5}=\frac{5}{5}*(5x-1)=5x-1: $$$$5x-1=5*3$$

dangerousjesse · Answer

Then you need to multiply five and three together. What's your equation now?
