Question

Solve for x: 5x + 15 = 28​

Answer 1

x=2.6

Explanation:

1)write equation

2)put line through equal sign(if on paper, its way easier to put a line through.)

3)subtract 15 from 15

4)subtract 15 from 28(13)

If it were to be a negative 15 youd add 15. Never add or subtract to a number with a letter!

5)what's left over is 5×=28 divide 5 on both sides.

6)13÷5=2.6

Answer 2

x= 2
`(3)/(5)`

Explanation:

5x + 15 = 28

5x + 15 (-15) = 28 (-15)

5x = 13

5/5x = 13/5

x= 2
`(3)/(5)`
