Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that

[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]× + 3 = 2× - 1

Next, solve for x

2x - [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]× = 3 + 1

[tex]\frac{4}{3} x[/tex] [tex]= 4[/tex]

[tex]x = 4 * 3 / 4 = 3[/tex]

Here is it simpler

2/3 of 3 = 2 + 3 = 5 (3 more = + 3) (2/3 of 3 = two-thirds of a number)

is the same as

(3 * 2) - 1 = 5 (twice the number = 3 * 2) (1 less than = - 1)
