Question

Can i have help with this problem plz(X-1)1/3=2 ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Solving for x gives x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

First lets rewrite our equation clear, which from the question reads as :

$(x-1)\frac{1}{3}=2$     Eqn(1).

This is a case of an equation with one variable (i.e. one uknown) denoted as $x$.

The question is asking as to solve this equation and obtain the value of $x$.

To do so we start by rewriting and simplifying the equation as follow: $(x-1)\frac{1}{3}=2$

which is the same as

$\frac{(x-1)}{3}=2$

Here we have a fraction on the left hand side reading as $\frac{(x-1)}{3}$ and an integer on the right hand side as $2$. Thus we move the denominator of the fraction, in this case $3$ to the right hand side where we multiply it with $2$, to eliminate our fraction and solve for $x$ as follow:

$x-1 =2*3\\x-1=6\\x=6+1\\x=7$

(Note how we transferd $-1$ from the left hand side to the right hand side, the sign changed from negative to positive).
