Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
6=
1
3x
+5
Multiply all terms by x and cancel:
6x=
1
3
+5x
6x=5x+
1
3
(Simplify both sides of the equation)
6x−5x=5x+
1
3
−5x(Subtract 5x from both sides)
x=
1
3
Check answers. (Plug them in to make sure they work.)
x=

3
(Works in original equation)
Answer:
x=
1
3
6 -5 = 1/3x
1 =1/3x # divided both side by 3/1 to isolate x by itself
then you get x = 3
