A)
X/3 -2 = 6
Add 2 to both sides:
X/3 = 8
Multiply both sides by 3:
X = 24
B)
X/5 +1 = 5
Subtract 1 from both sides:
X/5 = 4
Multiply both sides by 5:
X = 20
Answer:
a) 24.
b) 20.
Step-by-step explanation:
a) x/3 - 2 = 6
x/3 = 6 + 2 = 8
x = 3*8
x = 24.
b). x/5 + 1 = 5
x/5 = 5 - 1 = 4
x = 5*4
x = 20.
