Help!!!

Corinne solved the equation below:

5x = 95
5x − 5 = 95 − 5
x = 90

Is Corinne's solution correct? If the solution is incorrect, explain why it is incorrect and show the correct steps to solve the equation.

Answer 1

5x = 95
how would you get x by itself

Answer 2

you would divide 5 on both sides

Answer 3

that's right. so what does x equal

Answer 4

19?

Answer 5

that's correct

Answer 6

could you help me with another?

Answer 7

sure

Answer 8

An equation is shown below:

6(2x - 11) + 15 = 21

Write the steps you will use to solve the equation and explain each step.

Answer 9

ok, expand 6(2x-11)

Answer 10

Expand?

Answer 11

multiply 6 into the brackets

Answer 12

6(2x) + 6(-11)

Answer 13

12x + -66

Answer 14

12x - 66 + 15 = 21

Answer 15

can you solve it from here?

Answer 16

i think so. give me a min

Answer 17

\[-66+15=-51\]

Answer 18

12x-51=21

Answer 19

ok, what's the next step?

Answer 20

12x=51+12?

Answer 21

21, not 12

Answer 22

12x=51+21

12x=72

Answer 23

and then divide 12 on both sides

x=6
