Question

What is the solution to the equation 5 x = 32?

a. x = 6
b. x = 6.4
c. x = 27
d. x = 160

Answer 1

x = 32/5 = 6.400

Answer is B

Explanation:

1: Rearrange

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation

Solving a Single Variable Equation

Solve : 5x-32 = 0

Add 32 to both sides of the equation :

5x = 32

Divide both sides of the equation by 5:

x = 32/5 = 6.400

The correct answer is B.

Answer: x = 32/5 = 6.400

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

B

Explanation:

5x=32 move the 5 over by dividing

x=5/32. 5 divided by 32 equals 6.4

so x=6.4
