Question

(x-5)/3=21 What is equal to x

Answer 1

Answer: x=68

Explanation:

(x-5)/3=21

(x-5)*3/3=21*3 ==> Multiply both sides by 3 to remove fractions

x-5=21*3

x-5=63

x+5-5=63+5 ==> Add 5 on both sides to isolate the x variable

x=63+5

x=68

Answer 2

Let's solve the problem,

→ (x - 5)/3 = 21

→ x - 5 = 21 × 3

→ x = 63 + 5

→ [ x = 68 ]

Hence, the value is 68.
