I have a real big problem. I am not suitable for Algebra! So, could someone please explain how 5x=54+7
equals 4 o.O
I can help you. Just explain why YOU think It equals 4.
5x = 54 + 7
Add the two numbers.
5x = 61
Divide both sides by 5.
x = 12.2
How do you get 4?
Sure, I'd be happy to explain!
To solve the equation 5x = 54 + 7, you need to isolate the variable x.
Let's break down the steps:
Step 1: Simplify the equation on the right side of the equation:
54 + 7 = 61
Now the equation becomes 5x = 61.
Step 2: To isolate the variable x, you need to get rid of the coefficient 5 that is multiplying x. You can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by 5. This will keep the equation balanced.
Dividing both sides by 5:
(5x)/5 = 61/5
Simplifying:
x = 61/5
Step 3: To further simplify the answer, you can divide 61 by 5:
x = 12.2
So, the solution to the equation 5x = 54 + 7 is x = 12.2.
