Question

1/5 (x + 2)= 8
Will give medal! ^^

Answer 1

Solve for x:
(x+2)/5 = 8
Multiply both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.
Multiply both sides of (x+2)/5 = 8 by 5:
(5 (x+2))/5 = 5×8
Cancel common terms in the numerator and denominator of (5 (x+2))/5.
(5 (x+2))/5 = 5/5×(x+2) = x+2:
x+2 = 5×8
Multiply 5 and 8 together.
5×8 = 40:
x+2 = 40
Isolate terms with x to the left hand side.
Subtract 2 from both sides:
x+(2-2) = 40-2
Look for two terms that sum to zero.
2-2 = 0:
x = 40-2
Evaluate 40-2.
40-2 = 38:
Answer x = 38
