Question

3x/5=30 solve the equation

Answer 1

x = 50

Explanation:

`(3x)/(5)=30\\\\\mathrm{Multiply\:both\:sides\:by\:}5\\\\(5\cdot \:3x)/(5)=30\cdot \:5\\\\\mathrm{Simplify}\\\\3x=150\\\\\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}3\\\\(3x)/(3)=(150)/(3)\\\\x = 50`

Answer 2

Explanation:

To solve equations like this you need to to get x by itself.

So, Let's multiply both sides by 5 to get rid of 5.

3x/5 *5 = 30 * 5

= 3x = 150

Now we divide both sides by 3 to get x by itself,

3x/3 = 150/3

x = 50
