Question

Equation:
$5 + 5 = 5x + 5 - 2$
Solve for x.​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = $\frac{7}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x, we need to isolate it [get it alone on one side]

We should start by simplifying (combining the like-terms of our equation):

5 + 5 = 5x + 5 - 2

10 = 5x + 3

- 3         - 3        (subtract 3 from both sides to isolate x)

7 = 5x

÷5  ÷5   (divide both sides by 5 to find "1"x)

$\frac{7}{5}=x$  

So, x = $\frac{7}{5}$

(x = 7/5)

hope this helps!!

Answer 2

QUESTION:

5 + 5 = 5x + 5 - 2

Answer :

$x = \frac{7}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

5 + 5 = 5x + 5 - 2

10 = 5x + 3

Take 3 to the other side

10 - 3 = 5x

7 = 5x

$\frac{7}{5} = x$

or

$x = \frac{7}{5}$
