Question

22 Solve for x. 3x - 5 = 10 x equals..... help

Answer 1

Answer:

$x = 5$

Step-by-step explanation:

$3x - 5 = 10$

We want to isolate the x.

$3x - 5 = 10\\+5\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\; +5$

$3x = 15$

Now, we want the x not to have a coefficient. We want it just to be x =. We will do this via inverse operations. Since 3 x is 3 multiplied by x, we will divide each side by 3.

$\frac{3x}{3} \;=\;\frac{15}{3}$

$x = 5$
