(3x-5)/2 = 8
3x - 5 = 2 × 8
3x - 5 = 16
3x = 16 + 5
3x = 21
x = 21/3
x = 7
Answer:
Explanation:
Equation
(3x - 5)/2 = 8 Multiply both sides by 2
2*(3x - 5)/2 = 8 * 2 Combine
3x - 5 = 16 The 2s on the left cancel. Add 5 to each side
3x - 5 + 5 = 16+5 Combine
3x = 21 Divide both sides by 3
3x/3 = 21/3
Answer: x = 7
