Question

Solve for x. 20x + 5 = 5x + 65​

Answer 1

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

move the variable to the left side and change its sign

20x-5x=65-5

collect like terms

15x=65-5

15x=60 divide both side by 15

x=4

Answer 2

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

20x+5=5x+65

subtract 5x on both sides

20x-5x+5=65

combine like terms

15x+5=65

subtract 5 on both sides

15x=60

divide both sides with 15

$\frac{15x}{15}= \frac{60}{15}$

x=4
