Question

Which could be a step used when solving the equation 5x+10=7.5x?

distribute 5

distribute 10

add 10 to both sides

subtract 5x from both sides

Answer 1

Subtract 5x from both sides because you would need to get all the x values together so you can end up solving for x

7.5-5=2.5

2.5=10

10÷2.5=4

x=4
