Question

What is x+5=20
need step by step explanation

Answer 1

15

Explanation:

First, you want to seperate the x so that the equation becomes x = whatever.

In order to do that you need to get rid of the 5, so you should subtract it. What you do to one side you have to do to the other for math reasons. So, you add -5 on both sides, which leads to x=15.

Answer 2

x= 15

Explanation:

Subtract 5 from both sides leaving you with x on the left and 15 on the right

x +5 =20

-5 -5

x = 15
