The sum of 6 and one-third of x is one more than twice x, find x
-
A.
x = 7 -
B.
x = 5 -
C.
x = 3 -
D.
x = 2
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation
6 = (frac{1}{3}x) = 1 + 2x
6 = 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
