Question

What is the solution to the equation x\3 + 5= 8?x = 6x = 9x = 1x = 7

Answer 1

we have the equation

$\frac{x}{3}+5=8$

Solve for x

That means ----> isolate the variable x

step 1

Subtract 5 on both sides

$\begin{gathered} \frac{x}{3}+5-5=8-5 \\ \\ \frac{x}{3}=3 \end{gathered}$

step 3

Multiply by 3 on both sides

$\begin{gathered} \frac{x}{3}*3=3*3 \\ x=9 \end{gathered}$

The answer is x=9
