Answer 1

40

I used an algebra calculator

Answer 2

`\huge\text{\bf Hey there!}`

`\large\boxed{\mathsf{5 = (1)/(5)x - 3}}\\\large\boxed{\mathsf{\rightarrow (1)/(5)x - 3 = 5}}\\\large\text{\bf ADD 3 to BOTH SIDES}\\\large\boxed{\mathsf{(1)/(5)x - 3 + 3 = 5 + 3}}\\\large\text{\bf CANCEL out: -3 + 3 because it gives 0}\\\large\text{\bf KEEP: 5 + 3 because it helps solve for the x-value}\\\large\text{NEW EQUATION: \boxed{\mathsf{(1)/(5)x = 3 + 5}}}\\\large\text{\bf SIMPLIFY IT!}\\\large\boxed{\rightarrow \mathsf{(1)/(5)x = 8}}`

`\large\text{\bf MULYIPLY 5 to BOTH SIDES}\\\large\boxed{\mathsf{(1)/(5)x*5= 5*8}}\\\large\text{\bf CANCEL OUT: }\rm{\bf (1)/(5)* 5}\large\text{ \bf because it gives you 1}\\\large\text{\bf KEEP: }\rm{\bf 5* 8}\large\text{ \bf because it gives you the value of the x-value}\\\large\text{\bf NEW EQUATION: \boxed{\mathsf{x = 5*8}}}\\\large\text{\bf SIMPLIFY IT!}\\\large\boxed{\textsf{x = 40}}\\\huge\textsf{Therefore, your answer is: \boxed{\mathsf{x = 40}}}\huge\checkmark`
