Title: What is the first step in solving the equation 88 = 13 + 5x? Post by: c.c.morgan on Aug 24, 2012 1 is the first step.
2 is the next step to get x=? Title: What is the first step in solving the equation 88 = 13 + 5x? Post by: c.c.morgan on Aug 24, 2012 1. transpose 13 to the left side of the equation leaving 5x on the right side, in equation form:
88-13 = 5x 2. subtract 88-13 = 75, in equation form: 75 = 5x 3. divide both sides by 5, in equation form: 75/5 = 5x/5 4. answer: x= 15 |
