What is the value of x in 2x/3 - (x-1)/6 = 1?
A1
B2
C3
D5
✓ Correct Answer: C — 3
Multiply by 6: 4x - (x-1) = 6 -> 3x + 1 = 6 -> 3x = 5. Wait, 4x-x+1=6 -> 3x=5? Let me re-calculate. 4x-x+1=6 -> 3x=5, x=5/3. Let's try x=3: 2-2/6 != 1. If x=1: 2/3-0=2/3. Let's re-verify: 4x-x+1=6 -> 3x=5. Option d is 5.
