Question

60x-30_______ = 18 5

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

`(60x-30)/(5)=18`

To find the value of x, we factor out the common term first which is 30.

So,

`\begin{gathered} (60x-30)/(5)=18 \\ \text{Simplify and rearrange} \\ (30(2x-1))/(5)=18 \\ 6(2x-1)=18 \\ 2x-1=(18)/(6) \\ 2x-1=3 \\ 2x=3+1 \\ 2x=4 \\ x=(4)/(2) \\ \text{Calculate} \\ x=2 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the value of x is 2.
