Question

Solve for x: one over five(5x + 12) = 18 seventy-eight over five one hundred-two over five 6 30

Answer 1

x = 78 / 5

Explanation:

The series of calculation to get x would be:

1st : Multiply both sides by 5.

(1/5)(5x + 12) * 5 = 18 * 5

5x + 12 = 90

2nd : Transfer 12 to right side, therefore subtracting it.

5x = 90 – 12

5x = 78

3rd : Divide both sides by 5.

5x / 5 = 78 / 5

x = 78 / 5

Answer 2

The series of calculation to get x would be:
1st : Multiply both sides by 5.
(1/5)(5x + 12) * 5 = 18 * 5
5x + 12 = 90
2nd : Transfer 12 to right side, therefore subtracting it.
5x = 90 – 12
5x = 78
3rd : Divide both sides by 5.
5x / 5 = 78 / 5
x = 78 / 5
