x= 13/27

Explanation:

3sqrt(3x-1)=2

sqrt(3x-1)=2/3

3x-1=(2/3)^2

3x-1=4/9

3x=4/9+9/9= 13/9

x= 13/27

x=13/27

Explanation:

To isolate the radical, we can divide both sides by 3 to get

sqrt(3x-1)=2/3

To get rid of the radical, we can square both sides to get

3x-1=4/9

Next, let's add 1 or 9/9 to both sides to get

3x=13/9

Next, we can multiply both sides by 1/3 to get

x=13/27

Hope this helps!
