The solution of the equation is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Concept Involved:
Solve the equation by getting the variable in one side of the equation and undoing whatever is done to it by performing reverse operation. The solution to the equation is the value of x that makes the equation TRUE.
Calculation: Use the symmetric property of equality which states that if
In the process of getting x alone in one side of the equation we need to subtract 5 on both sides of the equation
Combine like terms on both sides of the equation
