Hey there!

6x - 5 = 37

ADD 5 to BOTH SIDES

6x - 5 + 5 = 37 + 5

CANCEL out: -5 + 5 because it gives you 0

KEEP: 37 + 5 because it help solve for the x-value

NEW EQUATION: 6x = 5 + 37

SIMPLIFY IT!

6x = 42

DIVIDE 6 to BOTH SIDES

6x/6 = 42/6

CANCEL out: 6/6 because it give you 1

KEEP: 42/6 because it gives you the x-value

NEW EQUATION: x = 42/6

SIMPLIFY IT!

x = 7

Therefore, your answer is: x = 7

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

Answer: X = 7.

Step-by-step explanation: Move all terms that don't contain x to the right side and solve.

I'll go step-by-step.

1. Add 5 to both sides. 6x-(5+5)=37+5

2. Simplify 6x=42

3. Divide both sides by 6.
(6x)/(6) =(42)/(6)

4. Then simplify/Divide. 42 / 6 = 7

That's how you get 7!

X = 7
