Chapter 1, Problem 1RE

To determine

To calculate: The value of x in the equation $3x-2=0$.

Answer to Problem 1RE

Solution:

The value of x in the equation is $\underset{\_}{x=\frac{2}{3}}$.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

$3x-2=0$

Calculation:

Consider the equation,

$3x-2=0$

Add 2 to both the sides,

$\begin{array}{c}3x-2+2=0+2\\ 3x=2\end{array}$

Divide both the sides by 3,

$x=\frac{2}{3}$

Hence, solution of the equation is $x=\frac{2}{3}$.
