I’m ready to help you solve these fraction equations — but since you didn’t specify which problem number to solve, I’ll pick one as an example and walk through it step by step. Let’s go with
Problem 1:
>
1) \( \frac{1}{3} + x = 2 \)
---
Step-by-step solution:
We want to find the value of
x.
Right now, we have:
\( \frac{1}{3} + x = 2 \)
To get
x alone on one side, we need to
subtract \( \frac{1}{3} \) from both sides of the equation.
So:
\( x = 2 - \frac{1}{3} \)
Now, let’s compute that.
Think of 2 as a fraction: \( 2 = \frac{6}{3} \) (because 3 goes into 2 six-thirds).
So:
\( x = \frac{6}{3} - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{5}{3} \)
That’s our answer!
✔ Double-check: Plug \( x = \frac{5}{3} \) back into the original equation:
\( \frac{1}{3} + \frac{5}{3} = \frac{6}{3} = 2 \) → Correct!

Final Answer:
x = 5/3
