Question

Solving basic combined equations

5x - 3=22

Answer 1

$5x - 3 =22$ add the 3 over. $5x = 25$ divide by 5. $x = 5$

Answer 2

In order to solve an equation, we need to isolate the x. For the equation 5x-3=22, we first need to add 3 to both sides to get 5x=25. Then we need to divide both sides by 5 to get x=5 which is the answer.

I hope this helps.
