Answer:
1
Explanation:
Divide each term by
0.5 and simplify.
Divide each term in
0.5 ( 5 x + 1 ) = 3 by 0.5 . 0.5 ( 5 x + 1 ) 0.5
= 3 0.5 Cancel the common factor of 0.5 . 5 x + 1 = 3 0.5 Divide 3 by 0.5 .
5 x + 1 = 6
Move all terms not containing
x
to the right side of the equation.
Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation.
5 x = 6 − 1 Subtract 1 from 6 . 5 x = 5
Divide each term by
5 and simplify.
Divide each term in 5 x = 5 by 5 . 5 x 5 = 5 5
Cancel the common factor of 5 .
Cancel the common factor.
5 x 5 = 5 5 Divide x by 1 . x = 5 5 Divide 5 by 5 .
x = 1
