Solve the equation (x)/(3) -5=15

Question

Solve the equation
`(x)/(3) -5=15`

Answer 1

The answer is

x = 60

Explanation:

`(x)/(3) - 5 = 15`

Send 5 to the right side of the equation

That's

`(x)/(3) = 15 + 5`

`(x)/(3) = 20`

Multiply both sides of the equation by 3

We have

`3 * (x)/(3) = 20 * 3`

x = 20 × 3

We have the final answer as

x = 60
