Divide each term in
0.5
(
5
x
+
1
)
=
3 by 0.5
.
0.5
(
5
x
+
1
)
0.5
=
3
0.5
Cancel the common factor of 0.5
.
5
x
+
1
=
3
0.5 Divide 3 by 0.5
.
5
x +
1 =
6
Move all terms not containing
x
to the right side of the equation.
Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation.

x
= 5
Divide each term by
5 and simplify.
Divide each term in 5
x
=
