Question

Could someone please help me with this equation, thank you.
-8 + x/5 = 12

Answer 1

x=100

Explanation:

-8+x/5=12

--8+x/5=12+8

x/5=20

5*20=100

x=100

Answer 2

x = 100

Explanation:

1. To get rid of the denominator of 5, multiply both sides of the equation to get 5

-40 + x = 60

2. Add 40 on both sides to get the variable x by itself

x = 60 + 40

3. Solve

x = 100
