The value of ##x## is 10.
So first set up your equation to ##(x-1)/3=3##. From here you will do the inverse operation of each constant in the order of operations (PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction). To start, do the inverse of ##/3## which would be ##*3##. So do this to both sides to get ##x-1=9## (because you multiplied the three to the other side too). Then from here, do the inverse of subtracting one from each side which would be adding a one to each side. So you would get your final answer of ##x=10##.
