Question

1. x/5 + 10 = 40
2. 4x - 36 = -2
i would really appreciate it if you'd help me

Answer 1

1. x = 150

2. x = 8.5

Explanation:

1. x/5 + 10 = 40

Get x by itself and then solve for x.

First, subtract 10 from both sides

x/5 + 10 - 10 = 40 - 10

x/5 = 30

Then, multiply by 5 to get x by itself.

x/5 = 30

x/5 * 5 = 30 * 5

x = 150

2. 4x - 36 = -2

Get x by itself and then solve for x.

First, add 36 to both sides

4x - 36 + 36 = -2 + 36

4x = 34

Then, Divide each side by 4

4x/4 = 34/4

x = 8.5

Answer 2

1.) x = 150

2.) x = 8.5

Explanation:

1.)

`(x)/(5)+10=40\\\\(x)/(5)=30\\\\x=150`

2.)

`4x-36=-2\\\\4x=34\\\\x=8.5`
