Question

Solve for x 5x+10=40

Answer 1

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the sum is 40.

Something times 5 + 10 = 40.

To make it easier, I'll go ahead and subtract the 10.

40 - 10 = 30

Now we ask, 5 times what (x) equals 30?

5 times 6 = 30

Therefore, x=6

Answer 2

The answer is

5x+10=40

5x=30

x=6
