Question

Solve for x: You must show your work (how you got your answer).

8x + 5 = 35

Answer 1

Answer:

3.75 or 15/4

Step-by-step explanation:

8x+5=35

Subtract 5 from the left side to cancel it out, do the same thing to 35.

8x=30

Divide 8x by 8 to get x alone, do the same thing to 30.

x=3.75, or once you simplify 30/8, you get 15/4.
