the answer is 10x
Solve for
x
by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.
x
=
10
Answer:
x = 5[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
5(x - 3[tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] ) = 7[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Use distributive property
5x - 18[tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] = 7[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Add 18[tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] to both sides
5x = 26[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
Divide both sides by 5
x = 5[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
