Answer:
D Multiply by 3
Step-by-step explanation:
In solving for
[tex]\frac{x}3} -5 = 8[/tex]
The first step would be as follows:
[tex]\frac{x}{3} = 13[/tex]
We add 5 to both sides to isolate the variable from the coefficients. then we would multiply the fraction by its recipricol to cancel out the fraction as shown:
[tex]\frac{x}{3} * \frac{3}{x} = `13 * \frac{3}{x}[/tex]
If we wanted to solve for the whole problem, it would then look like this:
[tex]\frac{13}{1} * \frac{3}{x} = \frac{39}{x}[/tex]
Then multiply by x to get rid of the fraction and get the result as
[tex]x = 39[/tex]
To check our answer, lets put our x-value back in to see if it works.
[tex]\frac{39}{3} - 5 = 8\\39/3 = 13\\13-5 = 8[/tex]
Therefore, our answer is correct.
Hope this helps! :)
