Question

What is the solution to this equation? 30.16 = 17.56 + 5x PLEASE HELP MEEE

Answer 1

17.56 + 5x = 30.16

5x = 47.72

x= 9.544

hope this helps!!

Answer 2

x=2.52

Explanation:

First, I like to have my equation to the left side instead of the right side (you don't have to do this).

5x+17.56 = 30.16

Now do PEMDAS operations.

5x+17.56= 30.16

5x+17.56-17.56 = 30.16-17.56

5x = 12.6

Now here we have 5x but we want the value of x. To fix we must divide both sides by 5.

x = 2.52
