How do you solve #x/3+5=10#?

Answer 1

Eva Abramson

#x=15#

#"isolate "x/3" by subtracting 5 from both sides of "# #"the equation"#

#x/3cancel(+5)cancel(-5)=10-5#

#rArrx/3=5#

#"multiply both sides by 3"#

#cancel(3)xx x/cancel(3)=3xx5#

#rArrx=15" is the solution"#

To solve the equation x/3 + 5 = 10, you would first subtract 5 from both sides to isolate the x/3 term. This gives you x/3 = 5. Then, you would multiply both sides of the equation by 3 to get rid of the fraction. This gives you x = 15. So, the solution to the equation is x = 15.
