Question

Solve 1/5x+3=10. Show all work and check it

Answer 1

1/5x+3=10

1/5×-3=10-3

1/5×=7

5*(1/5x)=7*5

x=35

Answer 2

1/5x + 3 = 10

Subtract by 3 on both sides. 

1/5x = 7.

Now to isolate the variable, flip the coefficient in front of the variable and multiply both sides by it. 

5(1/5x) = 7(5)

x = 7(5)
x = 35

Now to check:

1/5(35) + 3 = 10

35/5 + 3 = 10

35/5 is 7.

7 + 3 = 10

10 = 10
