Question

5= 1/5x −3

What does x equal?

Answer 1

To solve this equation, we must try to get the variable x alone. To do this, we should begin by adding 3 to both sides of the equation.

5 = 1/5x - 3

8 = 1/5x

Next, we should multiply both sides of the equation by 5 (the reciprocal of 1/5) to get rid of the coefficient of 1/5 on the variable x.

40 = x

Therefore, your answer is 40.

Hope this helps!
