Question

Solve for X.
3/5x+7=12

Answer 1

`x = (3)/(25) \\`

Explanation:

`(3)/(5x) + 7 = 12 \\ \\ (3 + 35x)/(5x) = 12 \\ \\ 3 + 35x = 12 * 5x \\ 3 + 35x = 60x \\ 3 = 60x - 35x \\ 3 = 25x \\ 25x = 3 \\ \\ x = (3)/(25)`

Answer 2

x = 25/3

Explanation:

3/5x+7=12

Subtract 7 from each side

3/5x+7-7=12-7

3/5x = 5

Multiply each side by 5/3 to isolate x

5/3 *3/5x = 5*5/3

x = 25/3
