Question

To solve VX +VX-5 = 5 for x, begin with which of these steps?

Answer 1

I'd say start with "Add 5 to both sides"

Explanation:

VX +VX-5 = 5

Add 5 to both sides

2VX=10

Divide both sides by 2

VX=5

Divide both sides by V

X=
`(5)/(V)`

Answer 2

x = 5/v

Explanation:

Solve for x:

2 v x - 5 = 5

Add 5 to both sides:

2 v x = 10

Divide both sides by 2 v:

Answer: x = 5/v
