Answer:
x = 2
Explanation:
5x - 2 = 8
get rid of 2 to get x by itself on the left side
5x - 2 + 2 = 8 + 2 (whatever u do to one side do to the other)
5x = 10
divide to get 1x (divide both sides by 5)
x = 10
x=2
5×2=10-2=8
You subtract add two to both sides, giving you 5x=10
Divide the 10 by 5 and you get 2.
