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

Question

Equation:

`5 + 5 = 5x + 5 - 2`
Solve for x.​

Answer 1

x =
`(7)/(5)`

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)

`(7)/(5)=x`

So, x =
`(7)/(5)`

(x = 7/5)

hope this helps!!

Answer 2

QUESTION:

5 + 5 = 5x + 5 - 2

Answer :

`x = (7)/(5)`

Explanation:

5 + 5 = 5x + 5 - 2

10 = 5x + 3

Take 3 to the other side

10 - 3 = 5x

7 = 5x

`(7)/(5) = x`

or

`x = (7)/(5)`
