To isolate the denominator, you can multiply both sides of the equation by 5x-1. This will cancel out the denominator on the left side, giving you:
3 = 3(5x-1)
Next, distribute the 3 on the right side to get:
3 = 15x - 3
Now, add 3 to both sides to isolate the variable:
3 + 3 = 15x - 3 + 3
6 = 15x
Finally, divide both sides by 15 to solve for x:
6/15 = x
x = 2/5
So, the value of x that makes the equation true is 2/5.
3 = 3(5x-1)
Next, distribute the 3 on the right side to get:
3 = 15x - 3
Now, add 3 to both sides to isolate the variable:
3 + 3 = 15x - 3 + 3
6 = 15x
Finally, divide both sides by 15 to solve for x:
6/15 = x
x = 2/5
So, the value of x that makes the equation true is 2/5.
