3x-1/3=5,x=1 7/9
Split the equal sign in half on the left side of the equation,do + 1/3 on both sides and cross out the duplicate add 1/3 and 5 which is which is 5.3
Next bring down 3x put a line under 5.3 and 3x,then put 3 under the line,cross out both 3's, do 5.3 divided by 3 which= which equals 1.76 then turn it into a fraction which would be 44/25 turn that into a mixed number and it would be 1 7/9
Therefore, this statement is true
