Question

What is the value of x if 5×+2 = 59?

Answer 1

X=11.4

Explanation:

First you need to get the x's alone with the answer. You can do this by removing the number (the 2) by doing the opposite action. In this case you are adding 2 in the problem so you need to subtract 2.

59-2=57

Then you have your new problem

5x=57

So you need to get the value of x. You can do this by dividing the answer(57) by the number of x's (5)

57/5=11.4

and that is your value of 1 x.

X=11.4
