Question

Can some one help me with this question: Solve 5x-22=20

Answer 1

Answer: x = 8.4

Work: So, the goal of this equation is to get x by itself, and the first thing we need to do is get 22 out of that current side. To do that, we are going to add 22 on both sides, cancelling it on the side it's currently on. So, the new equation is 5x = 42. Now, we need to divide 5 on both sides, and like I said, I'll cancel on the side it's currently on. So, the answer is x = 8.4

I hope this helps, and Happy Holidays! :)

Answer 2

Answer:

8.4 is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 22 = 20

or, 5x = 20 + 22. ( changing subtract sign to add )

or, x = 42 / 5. ( changing multiply sign to devide )

therefore, x = 8.4
