Question

What is the value of x? x/5 + 6 =36 x=?

Answer 1

Is this the equation?

\(\dfrac{x}{5} + 6 = 36\)

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

We need to isolate x,
In order to do that, we need to undo the operations being done to x.
x is being divided by 5.
Then a 6 is being added.

We start by undoing the addition of 6.
Since we need to do the same to both sides of an equation, we subtract 6 from both sides.
