Answer: Hi, sorry if I’m late to answering but the answer is 19

Explanation:

You divide each number in the equation by 5. So, 5x divided by 5 = 1. We cannot use 5 divided by 5 because it will equal 1 so we ignore that and go to 95 divided by 5 = 19. Therefore, 19 is your answer!!! (Hope this helped)
