55+5=60

6+4=10

60/10=6

Answer 2

Answer:

$\Huge\boxed{x=6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this equation, our goal is to "reverse" the equation until we have x isolated on one side.

$6x+4x-5=55$

We can first combine the x terms.

• $10x-5=55$
• Add 5 to both sides:
• $10x=60$
• Divide both sides by 10:
• $x=6$

So x = 6.
