Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{\sf x = 5}`

Explanation:

Given equation:

5x + 3 = 28

Let's solve the equation to find out which value makes the equation true.

• Subtract 3 from both sides

5x = 28 - 3

5x = 25

• Divide both sides by 5

x = 25/5

x = 5

So, x = 5 makes the equation true.

`\rule[225]{225}{2}`

Answer 2

5

Explanation:

5x + 3 = 28

5x=28 - 3

5x=25

x=25 / 5

x = 5
