Question

Which could be a step used when solving the equation 5x+10=7.5x?

Answer 1

Answer:

Putting all the x's to one side.

Step-by-step explanation:

By doing this, you would get:

10 = 2.5x

so,

4 = x

Answer 2

Answer:

We subtract 5x from both sides

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Subtract 5x from both sides

$5x + 10 = 7.5x$

$10 + 5x - 5x = 7.5x - 5x$

$10 = 2.5x$

Step 2:  Divide both sides by 2.5

$\frac{10}{2.5} = \frac{2.5x}{2.5}$

$4 = x$

Answer:  We subtract 5x from both sides
