Question

Wha is the solution of - 28 = 22 - 5× ?

Answer 1

-28 = 22 - 5x

-28 -22 = 22 -22 -5x

-50 = -5x

-50/-5 = -5x/-5

10 = x

x = 10

Answer 2

To solve the equation we have to rearrange the terms i.e. like terms on one side

`-28 = 22 - 5x`

Subtracting 22 from both sides we get

`-28 -22 = 22-5x - 22`

`-50 = -5x`

Divide both sides by -5 we get

`(-50)/(-5) = (-5x)/(-5)`

On simplifying we get

`x =10`

Hence, x= 10 is your answer

Hope this will help
