Answer:
1/3 x = x - 22 is the answer I think.
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to read this one step at a time.
1/3 x That's one third of a number
= equals
x - 22 the number minus 22
1/3 x = x - 22
============
Just because it is there, I'll solve it.
multiply both sides by 3
3*(1/3)x = 3(x - 22)
Remove the brackets on the right. show the multiplication on the left.
x = 3x - 66
Add 66 to both sides.
x + 66 = 3x - 66 + 66
x + 66 = 3x
Subtract x from both sides.
x - x + 66 = 3x - x
66 = 2x
Divide by 2
66/2 = 2x/2
x = 33
