The KEY to solving algebra problems is to get the unknown variable X all by itself on one side of the equal sign, and then do the exact opposite of what's being done right now.
With 23x = 5x + 1, you first need to combine all the Xs together by subtracting 5x from both sides.
This would leave you with 18x = 1. Since we're multiplying X by 18, we do the opposite, which is to divide both sides by 18, which would leave us with X = 1/18.
Since all of your choices are decimals, we'd need to convert the fraction 1/18 into a decimal by dividing the top number by the bottom. Doing this gives us with 0.56, and since this isn't one of the choices, the correct answer would be NONE.

h. x=1/18. 23x-5x=1 and 23-5 is 18 so X=.0555555555555555555555555555555

None, it works out to be
X = 1/18 = 0.55 repeating
