Solveand show work.  x/6 + 1 = 3 



              x

             ___  +  1 = 3



              6



          x

         ___  +  1 - 1 = 3 - 1        Subtract 1 both sides



          6



                  x

                _____ = 2

                  6

 

                  x

                _____ (6) = 2 (6)  Multiply both sides by 6

                  6



                  x = 12





Checking : 

              x

             ___  +  1 = 3  , x = 12



              6





              12

             ___  +  1 = 3



              6



              2   +  1 = 3



                     3 = 3  --------> True



So x = 12
