Question

Solve 5(11x - 2) = 155

Answer 1

3

Explanation:

5(11x-2) = 155

⇔ 55x - 10 = 155

⇔ 55x = 155 + 10

⇔ 55x = 165

⇔ x =
`(165)/(55)`

⇔ x = 3

Answer 2

x=3

Explanation:

5(11x - 2) = 155

Divide each side by 5

5/5(11x - 2) = 155/5

11x-2 = 31

Add 2 to each side

11x-2+2 = 31+2

11x=33

Divide by 11

11x/11 = 33/11

x=3
