Step-by-step explanation:

Hi Jakeyriabryant! I hope you’re fine!

I hope I have understood the problem well.

If so, what the exercise raises is the following equality:

(x-1) / 5 = 2/3

From this equation you must clear the "x".

First, we pass the 5 that is dividing on the side of the x, to the other side and passes multiplying

(X – 1) / 5 = 2/3  

(X – 1) = (2/3)*5

X – 1 = 10/3

Then we pass the one that is subtracting from the side of the x, to the other side and passes adding

X  = 10/3 + 1

Remember that to add or subtract fractions they must have the same denominator or a common denominator (in this case we can write 1 as fraction 3/3). Then,

X = 10/3 + 3/3

X = 13/3

I hope I've been helpful!

Regards!
