Question

What value of x makes the equation shown true? Show or explain what you did to get your answer. 5x – 1 = 19

Answer 1

5x-1=19
1st you add the one over to the 19 and you'll get 20
then you do 5x=20
divide the 5x over to the 20 and your final answer is 4.

Answer 2

Ok so you have 5x-1=19
so remember you have to add 1 on both sides so when we add to the 1 it crosses out so now we add 1 to 19 which equals 20.after that we have to divide the 5x by 5 and then we cross it out so now we are left with 20 divided by 5 which equals 4.
Meaning it x=4 

Thank you I hope you get it correct :)
