Question

Solve for x I need help on questions 5 & 6

Answer 1

Answer:

#5 x=8, #6 x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Theyre vertical so for number 5 you would have the equation

5x+15=55

    -15   -15 from both sides

5x=40

divide by 5 from both sides and you get

x=8

Same thing vertical so you would have  

16x+7=87

    -7    -7 from both sides

16x=80

divide by 16 from both sides

x=5
