Question

The first and second steps to solve the equation 3x/5+5=20 are

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

3x/5+5=20

       -5 -5

(.5)3x/5 = 15(.5).  (multiply both sides by 5, we got it from the /5)

15x(/15) = 75(/15) ( divide both side by 15, we got it from the 15x)

x = 5

Answer 2

Answer:

$66\frac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{3x}{5+5}=20\\\mathrm{Multiply\:both\:sides\:by\:}10\\\frac{10\cdot \:3x}{5+5}=20\cdot \:10\\Simplify\\3x=200\\\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}3\\\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{200}{3}\\Simplify\\x=\frac{200}{3}$

$66\frac{2}{3}$
