Question

Which is the solution of x/5 - 15 = 35
A x = 4
B x = 10
C x = 100
D x = 250

Answer 1

To solve this you'll want to isolate x

Start by multiplying each side by 5, do this because x is divided by 5 so we must do the opposite operation to undo it

(x/5-15)*5= x-75

35*5=175

The equation is now x-75=175

Add 75 to each side to have x by itself, the equation becomes x=250

So your answer is D

Answer 2

D) x=250

Explanation:

add 15 to both sides and you get x/5=50

then multiply both sides by 5 and you get x=250
