Which of the following is the solution of 5x - 6 = 44?
O x= -10
38
Ox=
x = -5
O x=
Ox-10



Sagot :

Answer:  x = 10

Work Shown:

5x-6 = 44

5x-6+6 = 44+6 ... see note 1

5x = 50

5x/5 = 50/5 ... see note 2

x = 10

  • note1: We add 6 to both sides to undo the -6
  • note2: Divide both sides by 5 to undo the multiplication. Think of 5x as 5*x or "5 times x".
