Question

Help please solve 5x+2=22

Answer 1

Salutations!

$5x+2=22$

To solve this, we need to isolate the number 2 by shifting it infront of 22. By this, we can easily solve the equation.

$5x = 22 -2$

We need to be very careful while isolating the number, make sure the operation is opposite.

$5x = 22 -2$

$5x = 20$

$x=20/5$

$x=4$

Hope I helped (:

Have a great day!

Answer 2

5x + 2 = 22
5x = 22 - 2
5x = 20
x = 20/5
x = 4
