+6+%2B+%28+1%2F3+%29%2AN+=+2N+%2B+1+
To solve, multiply both sides by +3+
+18+%2B+N+=+6N+%2B+3+
Subtract +N+ from both sides
+18+=+5N+%2B+3+
Subtract +3+ from both sides
+15+=+5N+
Divide both sides by +5+
+N+=+3+

The Sum Of 6 And One_third Of N Is One More Than Twice N
1%2F3N + 6 = 2N + 1
1%2F3N = 2N + 1 - 6
1%2F3N = 2N - 5
multiply both sides by 3
N = 6N - 15
15 = 6N - N
15 = 5N
N = 15/5
N = 3

Check
1%2F3(3) + 6 = 2(3) + 1
1 + 6 = 6 + 1
