Question

Solve for X 5x+8=98

Answer 1

\(5x+8=98\)
change the plus `(+)` in `+8` to a minus `(-)`
so that you have `-8` now
since you have -8 you subtract 8 from both sides of the equation
which should give you \(5x=90\)
because \(5x+8−8=98−8\) and 98-8=90
so you would get \(5x=90\)
so now you divide both sides of the equation by 5
\(\LARGE\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{90}{5}\)
\(\LARGE\cancel{\frac{5x}{5}}=\frac{90}{5}\) (5x/5 cancels)
all that is left is 90/5
simplify that then you should have your answer
90/5=?
x=?

Another way you could think of it is what times 5 plus 8 equals 98

Answer 2

ok thank you

Answer 3

Answer 4

Ok so you want to get the (x) by its self so first

5x + 8 = 98

Since there’s a (+8) you wanna get everything away from (x) so instead of (+8) you flip it to (-8)

Then subtract (-8) from both sides

5x + 8 - 8 = 98 - 8

So the (+8 - 8) is canceled out and then you simplify (98 - 8)

5x = 98 - 8

So now it’s (5x = 90)

Then do the opposite of what (5) is doing and divide it on both sides

5x/5 = 90/5

So the (5x/5) is canceled out and your left with (x = 90/5)

Then simplify it and you get (x)

So it would be solved like this

5x + 8 = 98
5x + 8 - 8 = 98 - 8
5x = 98 - 8
5x = 90
5x/5 = 90/5
X = 90/5

Then simplify (90/5)

And that will equal (x)
