X=33/5 is the value

Brynn Mercado · Answer 2

x = 33/5

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 3/5 = n ... n = 6

so we sub

x - 3/5 = 6 ... add 3/5 to both sides

x = 6 + 3/5 ... convert using common denominator of 5

x = 30/5 + 3/5

x = 33/5 <===

check ...

x - 3/5 = 6

33/5 - 3/5 = 6

30/5 = 6

6 = 6 (correct) ... so it checks out
