Answer 3

Ummmmm I was thinking x=5 but again, my Math is way out of this world and I don't know what to do with number xD

Answer 4

First simplify the left side
add 7 + 8 then multiply by 5

Answer 5

I did. I got 75.

Answer 6

right

now what is 5 . x and 5 . 7

Answer 7

5 x 7 = 35.

Answer 8

notre you perform multiplication before addition.

Answer 9

5 . x = 5 times x is just written as 5x

Answer 10

Oh

Answer 11

so we get
75 = 5x + 35

what do we do next?

Answer 12

75-35= 20? So would that make x=4? But again, 4 isn't an answer. o.0

Answer 13

I have no idea ._.

Answer 14

75 - 35 is not 20

Answer 15

10?

Answer 16

My mind is spinning today. Too much things going on. Sorry, let me get a Calculator Smh.

Answer 17

It's 40.

Answer 18

yes

Answer 19

Oh the answer is 8. Because 5x8=40. So x=8.

Answer 20

40 = 5x
so to find x we divide both sides by 5

Answer 21

8 is correct
