  • Determine the value of x that makes the equation true.


    x+1=5
    366


  • STEP 1: Get x on one side of the equation.


    First, subtract 1/6 from both sides of the equation. The x on the left side is now equivalent to whatever is on the other side of the equation.



  • STEP 2: Determine the values after subtracting from both sides.


    After subtracting from both sides, the left side is now x/3, while the right side is 2/3.



  • STEP 3: Find the value of x .


    Multiply 3 on both sides to cancel out the denominator of x/3. The value of x is 2.
