Question

Which of the following is the solution of 5x – 6 = 44?

O x=-10
38
X=--
5
38
X = 10

Answer 1

x=10

Explanation:

5x-6=44

grouping constants and numbers with coefficient of x we get

5x=44+6

5x=50

5x/5=50/5

x=10

Answer 2

x = 10

Explanation:

5x - 6 = 44

Add 6 on both sides of the equation.

5x = 50

Divide by 5 on both sides of the equation.

x = 10

So, the value of x is equal to 10
