Question

What is the answer to 5x-2=8

Answer 1

1. You need to get 5x on one side all by itself. So, you need to add 2 to the other side to undo the subtraction


`5x = 8 + 2`


`5x = 10`

2. Divide both sides by 5


`(5x)/(5) = (10)/(5)`


`x = 2`

Answer 2

i hope this helps you



5x=8+2


5x=10


5x÷5=10÷5


x=2
