13 =24x + 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subtract the 5 on both sides then divide the 8 from 24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

13=24x+5 13-5=24x 8=24x 8/24=x x=1/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Faceless you don't move the 24 for to the other side... its stay with the x then you divide 8 on both sides... which gives you 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pro: x=3 is wrong. plug it into the equation and you'll see it doesn't satisfy it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you do what you said we will get this: 8=24x 1=3x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right right i see what you are saying ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea Droper so Faceless is right the answer is 1/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is this the answer to 24 times x + 5 equals 13?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):
