Question

Solve the Equation 3x + 5x - 5 = 19

Answer 1

• 
  `\bf x=3`

Explanation:

`\bf 3x + 5x - 5 = 19`

Simplify:-

3x+5x = 8x

• 
  `\bf 8x-5=19`

Add 5 to both sides:-

• 
  `\bf 8x-5+5=19+5`

• 
  `\bf 8x=24`

Divide both sides by 8:-

• 
  `\bf \cfrac{8x}{8} =\cfrac{24}{8}`

• 
  `\bf x=3`
