Question: 1 / 400

Find the value of x in the equation x/3 + 2 = 5.

x = 9

To find the value of \( x \) in the equation \( \frac{x}{3} + 2 = 5 \), we can follow these steps:

1. Start by isolating the term with \( x \). First, subtract 2 from both sides of the equation to simplify it:

\[

\frac{x}{3} = 5 - 2

\]

This simplifies to:

\[

\frac{x}{3} = 3

\]

2. Next, to eliminate the fraction, multiply both sides of the equation by 3:

\[

x = 3 \times 3

\]

This results in:

\[

x = 9

\]

This shows that the solution \( x = 9 \) is correct because, when substituted back into the original equation, it satisfies the condition. If you were to substitute \( x = 9 \) into \( \frac{x}{3} + 2 \), you would get:

\[

\frac{9}{3} + 2 = 3 + 2 = 5

\]

Thus proving that the left-hand side equals the right-hand side,
