Question

Solve: -5 + x/3 = 20 can you lease do it and show all of the steps because I barly have enough time to turn it in thanks

Answer 1

-5 + x/3 = 20

first step is to isolate the x term by moving the 5 over to the 20 side
x/3 = 20+5
x/3 = 25
next step is to multiply both sides by 3 to get rid of the fraction that the x is in
3(x/3) = (25)3
x = 75

make sense?
