Question

500(x - 3) = 5000
can you help me ​

Answer 1

x = 13

Explanation:

Distribute 500 to x and -3

500x - 1500 = 5000

Add 1500 to both sides

500x = 6500

Divide both sides by 500

x = 13

Answer 2

x = 13

Explanation:

500(x - 3) = 50000 ( divide both sides by 500 )

x - 3 = 10 ( add 3 to both sides )

x = 13
