Subtract 1 to both sides x/2=5
Next multiply by two to both sides x=10
x=10 is the answer

Check: (10)/2 = 5+1 = 6

So you need to solve for x. TO do that you need to isolate x. To start you must subtract one from both sides so now we have
x/2 = 5
No we need to multiply by two from each side(multiply because fraction means divide and we need to do the opposite to isolate) so now it looks like
x=2.5

So x = 2.5

Hope that helped! If you don't get something PM me and i can try to explain.

Answer:

$y=3x+4$

Step-by-step explanation:
