x = your number
( 3 x - 1 ) / 5 = x + 1
Multiply both sides by 5
3 x - 1 = 5 x + 5
Add 1 to both sides
3 x = 5 x + 6
Subtract 5 x to both sides
- 2 x = 6
x = 6 / - 2
x = - 3
when 1 is subtracted from three times a certain number and then divided by 5,the result is the same as when 1 is added to the number what is the number

please is this the answer
Really, John???
He went through all those calculations just for you, and ends with
x = -3
and you come back with: "is this the answer?"
and you didn't even check to make sure it works?
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
