Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x equal the mystery number

Our equation will be:

x - 5 = 1 + 3x

-5 = 1 + 2x

Subtract 1 from both sides

-6  = 2x

Divide both sides by 2

-3 = x

What is 1/6x=4 in solving equations with rational coefficients
Debora [2.8K]
To solve an equation with a rational (fraction) coefficient you need to multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal (invert the fraction - flip it).

\frac{1}{6}x =4 The reciprocal of 1/6 is 6/1 or 6
6( \frac{1}{6} x)= 6(4)  The product of reciprocals equals 1
