Answer 1

Hi there!

I believe your answer is:  

$x - 6 = 5$

Here’s why:  

⸻⸻⸻⸻

I am assuming that '3=x divided by 3' is supposed to be $3 = \frac{x}{3}$.

⸻⸻⸻⸻

The first, second, and fourth equations have x divided by a number. To isolate x, we would have to use the multiplication property of equality.

⸻⸻⸻⸻

For the third one ($x-6=5$), the variable 'x' is being subtracted by 6. We would have to use the addition property of equality to isolate x.

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.
