Question

1=1/5(x-25) ?

maths , solve for x in simplest form

Answer 1

Answer: x = 30


`1 = (1)/(5)(x - 25)`

1. Change side (score to the right, expression to the left):


`(1)/(5)(x - 25) = 1`

2. Simplify (1/5 fraction, by other expressions in brackets):


`(1)/(5)x - 5 = 1`

3. Change position of numbers to the right side, without forgetting to change the sign:


`image`

4. Multiply both sides by 5 to get answer:


`(1)/(5)x = 6` |*5

`x = 30`

So the answer is: x = 30

Proof:

1 =
`image`
