Question

Give the solution of the equation x+7/ 5 =10

Answer 1

x = 43/5

Explanation:

Subtract 7/5 from both sides.

x + 7/5 - 7/5 = 10 - 7/5

x= 43/5

Answer 2

see below

Explanation:

x + 7/5 = 10

Subtract 7/5 from each side

x+7/5 -7/5 = 10 -7/5

x = 10-7/5

Get a common denominator

x = 50/5 - 7/5

x = 43/5

As a mixed number

x = 8 3/5

Or if the equation was

(x+7)/5 = 10

Multiply by 5

(x+7)/5 *5 = 10*5

x+7 = 50

Subtract 7 from each side

x+7-7 = 50-7

x = 43
