Question

2. In the equation 5(x - 3) = 25, what should you do after using the Distributive Property?​

Answer 1

Answer:

umm... This how I learned from the chapter simple equation. Hopefully helps

Step-by-step explanation:

5(x - 3) = 25  we have to find the value of 'x'

so transpose 5 x to the other side = (x - 3) = 25 divided by 5 becuz it was multiplication on the other side so it is equal to = (x - 3) = 5

Now we transpose -3 which is equal to = x = 5 + 3 = 8

so, x = 8

hopefully it helps!!!!!!!

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

first use distributive property

like this 5(x-3)=25

5x-15=25

then 5x=25+15

5x=40

5x/5=40/5

x=8
