Answer 1

Answer is D) divide by 5

Step by step

Solve by using the “division property of equality property” that states that if both sides of an equation are divided by a common real number that is not equal to 0, the quotients remain equal.

5x = 65
Divide both sides by 5

5/5 x = 65/5
Simplify

x = 13
