Answer: x = 21

Step-by-step explanation: First, isolate the x term by

subtracting 5 from both sides of the equation.

We get 1/3x = 7.

Next, multiply both sides of the equation by

the reciprocal of 1/3 which is 3/1 to get x by itself.

On the left, 3/1(1/3) cancels and on the

right when we multiply 7(3/1), we get 21.

So we have x = 21.
