Answer:
Try entering 2x+3=15 @ x=6 into the text box. After you enter the expression, Algebra Calculator will plug x=6 in for the equation 2x+3=15: 2(6)+3 = 15. The calculator prints "True" to let you know that the answer is right. More Examples Here are more examples of how to check your answers with Algebra Calculator. Feel free to try them now.
Step-by-step explanation:
Call the number : x
(1/3)x + 5 = x-6
=> (1/3)x + 5 - (x-6) = 0
=> (1/3)x + 5 - x + 6 = 0
Group (1/3)x with -x, 5 with 6
=> [(1/3)x - x] + (5+6) = 0
=> (-2/3)x + 11 = 0
=> (-2/3)x = -11
=> x = -11 : (-2/3) = 33/2.
Recheck : 1/3 x 33/2 + 5 = 33/6 + 5 = 63/6 = 21/2
33/2 - 21/2 = 12/2 = 6 (21/2 is 6 less than 33/2, satisfied.)
