The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \(\frac{1}{3}x - 6 = \frac{5}{2}\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Eliminate the fraction on the left side To eliminate the fraction, we can multiply every term in the equation by 6, which is the least common multiple of the denominators (3 and 2). \[ 6 \left(\frac{1}{3}x\right) - 6 \cdot 6 = 6 \left(\frac{5}{2}\right) \] ### Step 2: Simplify the equation Now, we simplify each term: \[ 2x - 36 = 15 \] ### Step 3: Isolate the variable term Next, we will isolate the term with \(x\) by adding 36 to both sides of the equation: \[ 2x - 36 + 36 = 15 + 36 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2x = 51 \] ### Step 4: Solve for \(x\) Now, divide both sides by 2 to solve for \(x\): \[ x = \frac{51}{2} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the solution to the equation is: \[ x = 25.5 \]
