Verified Answer :

x = 8/15
6x - 1/5 = 3/1
6x - 1/5 = 3
6x = 3 + 1/5
6x = 15 + 1 over 5 
6x = 16/5
x = 16/30
Then, you simplify. 
x = 8/15

6x - 1/5 = 3/1...u want to get rid of the fractions...multiply everything by the common denominator which is 5

giving u :
30x - 1 = 15....add 1 to both sides
30x = 15 + 1
30x = 16...divide both sides by 30
x = 16/30 which reduces to 8/15
