Answer 1

start by diving 5 from each side so you are lrft with x on the left side, 40/5=8. now our equation is x=8 and that's the answer!

Answer 2

`x=8`

Explanation:

Given the following question:


`5x=40`

When solving one-step equations, you need to remember we are trying to isolate the variable. In this case to isolate the variable we need to divide both sides by 5.


`5x=40`

`5x/5=x`

`40/5=8`

`x=8`

Which means the value of x will be "8."
