Solve for x: 5x - 5 = 35
Answers :
A. x = 7
B. x = 8
C. x = 6
D. x = 9

Answer 1

The answer is B. x=8. First add the five over to the 35. Now the equation is 5x = 40. 40 divided by 5 is 8

Answer 2

You move five to the either side as a positive number
5x= 40
The divide both sides by five to only get the value of x
5x/5= 40/5
So x equals to eight
