Question

Solve 5x - c = k for x.

Answer 1

x=(k+c)/5

Explanation:

5x-c=k (Original Equation)

5x-c+c=k+c (Addition Property of Equality)

5x=k+c (Simplify)

x=(k+c)/5 (Division Property of Equality)

Answer 2

Explanation:

5x - c = k

Add c to each side

5x - c+c = k+c

5x = (k+c)

Divide each side by 5

5x/5 = (k+c)/5

x = (k+c)/5
