Question

5x + 80 = -3x + 96 please help me find this answer

Answer 1

x=2

Explanation:

This question can be solved by making x the subject of formula

So let's solve the question

5x+80=-3x+96

Collect like terms

5x+3x=96-80

8x=16

Make x the subject of formula by dividing both sides by 8

x=2

Therefore the final answer is 2

This question can be solved by following the step by step procedure or else you will get another answer which will be different entirely from the right answer

Answer 2

x = 2

Explanation:

Step 1: Add 3x to both sides

5x + 80 + 3x = -3x + 96 + 3x

8x + 80 = 96

Step 2: Subtract 80 from both sides

8x + 80 - 80 = 96 - 80

8x = 16

Step 3: Divide both sides by 8

8x / 8 = 16 / 8

x = 2

Answer: x = 2
