If f(x) = 6/x-1
for what value of x does f(x) = 5 ?

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution,

f(x) = 6/x-1

When f(x)=5, then

f(x) = 6/x-1

5 = 6/x-1

5+1=6/x-1+1

6=6/x

Now by cross multiplication, we get

6×x=6

6x=6

6x/6=6/6

x=1

i think there was a typo. you wrote pat brings 3 quarts of ice-cream to the party. each serving of ice-cream is 1 6 quart. how many total servings of ice-cream does pat bring to the party? i think the bold is supposed to be 1/6. so 1 quart of ice cream = 6 servings. 6 * 3 = 18.
