Answer: x = 35
Explanation: In this problem, notice that D is being divided by 5,
so to get D by itself, we need to multiply both sides of the equation by 5.
Notice that on the left side, the 5 and 5 cancel
each other out, so we are just left with D.
On the right side, we have (7)(5) which is 35.
So x = 35.
Finally, remember that we can check our answer
by plugging a 35 back into the original equation.
So we have
.
Since this is a true statement, we know that our answer is correct, x = 35.
