Question

`8=(5x-1)/(3)`

Answer 1

x = 5

Explanation:

Given

8 =
`(5x-1)/(3)`

Multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction

24 = 5x - 1 ( add 1 to both sides )

25 = 5x ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 5

Answer 2

x = 5

Explanation:

multiply both sides of equation by 3

3 × 8 = (5x-1)/3 × 3 right side of equation will be simplified by 3 after multiplying

24 = 5x-1

24 + 1 = 5x

25 = 5x divide both sides by 5

x = 5
