Question

What is 5x=15 in the simplest form?

Answer 1

x = 3

Explanation:

5x = 15

Divide both sides by 5

5x/5 = 15/5

Simplify

x = 3

Answer 2

x=3

Explanation:

we can use inverse operations to solve this problem. 5 is being multiplied by x, so we can divide by 5 on both sides to isolate x. 15/5 is 3, so x=3 since the 5s cancel out.
