Question

Solve the following x/5=10
​

Answer 1

x = 50

Explanation:

x/5 = 10

Multiply both sides of the equation by 5.

5(x/5) = 5(10)

x = 5(10)

x = 50

The value of x is 50.

Answer 2

Answer: x = 50

Step-by-step explanation: Since x is being divide by 5, to solve for x, multiply both sides of the equation by 5.

So we have
`(5)(x)/(5) = 10(5)`.

On the left side, the 5's will cancel and on the right side, 10(5) is 50.

So x = 50.

Please do not try to do this problem in your head.

Show the work that it takes to get x by itself.
