Answer:

The solution/answer is x = 12.

Explanation:

We are given 5x=60 and want to solve this for x.

To do this, we divide both sides by 5 (which isolates x):

x = 60/5 = 12

The solution/answer is x = 12.

\huge\text{Hey there!}


\mathsf{5x = 60}


\mathsf{DIVIDE\ by\ 5\ to\ BOTH\ SIDES}


\mathsf{(5x)/(5)=(60)/(5)}


\mathsf{Cancel\ out: (5)/(5)\ because\ it\ gives\ you\ 1}


\mathsf{Keep: \ (60)/(5)\ because \ it \ helps \ you \ out \ find \ out \ what \ x\ is}


\mathsf{(60)/(5)= x}


\mathsf{(60)/(5) = 12 }


\boxed{\boxed{\mathsf{x = \bf{12}}}}\huge\checkmark ☑️
