Question

Solve the equation 2/5 x − 3 = 13 for x. Please show your work and solution in the space provided.

Answer 1

First, add 3 to both sides:
2/5x-3+3 = 13+3

=2/5x = 16
Next multiply both sides of the equation by 5 to get rid of the fraction.

5* 2/5x = 5*16
2x = 80
Next divide both sides by 2
2/2x = 80/2

EQUALS: x =40

Then substitute x to make sure the answer is correct:
2/5*40-3 =? 13
2*8 - 3 =? 13
16-3 = 13
13=13 The answer checks!
