7=1/3 (8x+3)

Solve for x in simplest form

x=2 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's swap it around so its 1/3 (8x+3) = 7

Now you multiply both sides by 3 to make it 1 (8x+3) = 21

That means its 8x+3 = 21

Subtract both sides by 3 to get rid of it

Now you have 8x=18

Which equals to x = 18/8

Which equals 2 1/4

The answer is 9/4 or 2 1/4

You multiply the parentheses by 1/3

7 = 8/3x + 1

Then multiply both sides by 3

21 = 8x+3

Move terms

-8x = 3-21

Calculate

-8 = - 18

Divide both sides by - 8

x = 9/4 or 2 1/4
