Question

What is the solution to the equation x\3 + 5= 8?x = 6x = 9x = 1x = 7

Answer 1

we have the equation

`(x)/(3)+5=8`

Solve for x

That means ----> isolate the variable x

step 1

Subtract 5 on both sides

`\begin{gathered} (x)/(3)+5-5=8-5 \\ \\ (x)/(3)=3 \end{gathered}`

step 3

Multiply by 3 on both sides

`\begin{gathered} (x)/(3)*3=3*3 \\ x=9 \end{gathered}`

The answer is x=9
