Question

Quick Question, can someone explain to me how 5x-6 equal 34?

Answer 1

x = 8

Explanation:

5x-6 = 34

Add 6 to each side

5x-6+6 = 34+6

5x = 40

Divide by 5

5x/5 = 40/5

x = 8

Answer 2

5x - 6 = 34. You have to do inverse operation. Since its -6, you have to do + 6 on both sides. so now, -6 gets canceled. and 34 + 6 is 40. All ur left with now is 5x = 40, 40 divided by 5 = 8
