Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:13 over 3Step-by-step explanation:Hi Jakeyriabryant! I hope you’re fine! I hope I have understood the problem well. If so, what the exercise raises is the following equality: (x-1) / 5 = 2/3 From this equation you must clear the "x".First, we pass the 5 that is dividing on the side of the x, to the other side and passes multiplying (X – 1) / 5 = 2/3  (X – 1) = (2/3)*5 X – 1 = 10/3 Then we pass the one that is subtracting from the side of the x, to the other side and passes adding X  = 10/3 + 1 Remember that to add or subtract fractions they must have the same denominator or a common denominator (in this case we can write 1 as fraction 3/3). Then, X = 10/3 + 3/3 X = 13/3 I hope I've been helpful! Regards!
