Question

x-5/3=1 in the simplest form

Answer 1

$\\ \sf\longmapsto x-5/3=1$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto x=1+5/3$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto x=3+5/3$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto x=8/3$

Done

Answer 2

$\sf \longmapsto \: x- \dfrac{5}{3} =1$

• Simplify both sides of the equation

$\sf \longmapsto \: x + \dfrac{ - 5}{ 3} = 1$

• Add 5/3 to both sides

$\sf \longmapsto x + \dfrac{ - 5}{3} + \dfrac{5}{3} = 1 + \dfrac{5}{3}$

$\sf \longmapsto \: x = \dfrac{8}{3}$

$\boxed{\sf { \red{ x = \dfrac{8}{3}}} }$
