Question

What is the value of x? Please show work!
75-5x=10

Answer 1

The value of X would be 13. Work:

Step 1: Subtract -75 from both sides: -5x = -65

Step 2: Divide both sides by -5: X = 13

Answer 2

Find the value of x by doing the following...

75-5x=10 (75+(-75) and 75+10)

Add 75 to both sides.

5x=85( 5x/5) and 85/5)

Now divide both sides by 5

x=17

75-(5 x 17)

75-85= -10
