QuestionSolve for xx: 13x+3=143\frac{1}{3} x + 3 = \frac{14}{3}.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The equation is 13x+3=143\frac{1}{3} x+3=\frac{14}{3}. . We are solving for xx.

STEP 2

We start by isolating the term with xx on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting from both sides of the equation.
1x+=14\frac{1}{} x+-=\frac{14}{}-

STEP 3

implify the equation.
13x=1433\frac{1}{3} x=\frac{14}{3}-3

STEP 4

Convert the3 on the right side of the equation to a fraction with3 as the denominator, so we can subtract it from 143\frac{14}{3}.
3=933 = \frac{9}{3}So, the equation becomes13x=14393\frac{1}{3} x=\frac{14}{3}-\frac{9}{3}

STEP 5

Subtract the fractions on the right side of the equation.
13x=14393=53\frac{1}{3} x=\frac{14}{3}-\frac{9}{3}=\frac{5}{3}

STEP 6

To solve for xx, we need to get rid of the 13\frac{1}{3} coefficient. We can do this by multiplying both sides of the equation by3.
3×13x=3×533 \times \frac{1}{3} x=3 \times \frac{5}{3}

STEP 7

implify the equation to find the value of xx.
x=3×53=5x=3 \times \frac{5}{3}=5So, the solution to the equation is x=5x=5.
