Question

PLZ HELP find the value of x in each of the following x/3-2=6 and x/5+1=5

Answer 1

The first one is X = 24 & the second one is x= 20

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 24

x = 20

Steps :

$1) \ \frac{x}{3} - 2 = 6$

 $\frac{x - 6 }{3} = 6\\\\\ \ x-6 = 6 \times 3\\\\\ \ x - 6 = 18\\\\\ \ x = 24$

$2) \frac{x}{5} + 1 = 5$

  $\frac{x+5}{5} = 5\\\\x + 5 = 5 \times 5\\\\x + 5 = 25\\\\x = 20$
