1. Problem Description

The problem asks to find the value of xx such that the sum of 6 and one-third of xx is one more than twice xx. We can express this as an equation.

2. Solution Steps

The problem statement can be translated into the following equation:
6+13x=2x+16 + \frac{1}{3}x = 2x + 1
To solve for xx, we first subtract 13x\frac{1}{3}x from both sides of the equation:
6=2x13x+16 = 2x - \frac{1}{3}x + 1
6=63x13x+16 = \frac{6}{3}x - \frac{1}{3}x + 1
6=53x+16 = \frac{5}{3}x + 1
Next, subtract 1 from both sides:
61=53x6 - 1 = \frac{5}{3}x
5=53x5 = \frac{5}{3}x
Now, multiply both sides by 35\frac{3}{5} to isolate xx:
535=x5 \cdot \frac{3}{5} = x
3=x3 = x
Thus, x=3x = 3.

3. Final Answer

The value of x is

3. So the answer is C. $x=3$.
