Answer :

The given equation is

[tex]\frac{2}{3}x-1=5[/tex]

First, we have to sum 1 on each side

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{2}{3}x-1+1=5+1 \\ \frac{2}{3}x=6 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Now, we multiply the equation by 3/2

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{2}{3}x\cdot\frac{3}{2}=6\cdot\frac{3}{2} \\ x=\frac{18}{2} \\ x=9 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the solution is 9.
