$5=\frac{1}{3}(5x-15)\\ 5=\frac{5}{3}x-5\\ 5+5= \frac{5}{3}x-5 +5\\10=\frac{5}{3}x\\ 10 * 3 = 3* \frac{5}{3}x\\30=5x\\\frac{30}{5} =\frac{5}{5}x\\ 6=x\\x=6$

What did we do in this problem

we ensured that both sides remained equally balanced in value
took everything step-by-step to make sure that there were no mistakes
to check it, we can plug it back into the original equation to see if it works

$5=\frac{1}{3}(5(6)-15)\\ 5=\frac{1}{3} (30-15)\\5=\frac{1}{3}*15\\ 5=5 \checkmark\\$

Answer: x = 6

Hope that helps!

FIND THE LENGTH AND WIDTH OF THE RECTANGLE

insens350 [35]

W = width
3w + 7 = length

Equation: 3w + 7 + w = 75
Combine like terms: 4w + 7 = 75
Subtract 7 to the other side: 4w = 68
Divide both sides by 4: w = 17

Width = 17
Length = 3(17) + 7, so 58
