To solve the equation [tex]\(3x = 5\)[/tex] for [tex]\(x\)[/tex], follow these steps:
1. Given the equation:
[tex]\[
3x = 5
\][/tex]
2. To find the value of [tex]\(x\)[/tex], you need to isolate [tex]\(x\)[/tex]. To do this, divide both sides of the equation by 3:
[tex]\[
x = \frac{5}{3}
\][/tex]
3. Simplify the fraction to get the value of [tex]\(x\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
x = 1.6667
\][/tex]
4. Now, determine whether [tex]\(1.6667\)[/tex] is greater than or less than 1. Compare the value:
[tex]\[
1.6667 > 1
\][/tex]
Therefore, the solution for [tex]\(x\)[/tex] is [tex]\(1.6667\)[/tex], and it is greater than 1 whole.
