Question

The product of five and the sum of a number x and three is twelve

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -3/5

Explanation:

The product of five and the sum of a number x and three is twelve

5(x + 3) = 12

Now, let's solve this.

5 * x = 5x

5 * 3 = 15

5x + 15 = 12

-15           -15

5x = -3

----    ---

5       5

x = -3/5

Answer 2

By solving the equation, The value of "x" we get is "$-\frac{3}{5}$".

According to the question,

The equation will be:

• $5(x + 3) = 12$

By opening the brackets, we get

→        $5x+15=12$

By subtracting "15" from both sides of the equation, we get

→ $5x+15-15=12-15$

→                 $5x = -3$

→                   $x = -\frac{3}{5}$

Thus the above answer is correct.
