Question

Solve.
x/5+ 3 = 2
A) -5
B) 25
C) 5
D) -1/5

Answer 1

A) Because you write the division as a fraction which turns into 1/5x+3=2. Then you multiply both sides by 5 and it turns into x+15=10. You move the constant to the right and then you calculate x=10-15 which gives you x=-5.

Answer 2

A)-5

Explanation:

x/5+3=2

x/5=-1

x=-5
