Answer:
x = 1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve the right side first:
- -2 + 6 = 4
- Plug 4 in: 5(4) + 5
- 5(4) = 5 × 4 = 20
- Plug 20 in: 20 + 5
- 20 + 5 = 25
Solve the left side by applying the distributive property:
- 6 × x = 6x
- 6 × 4 = 24
- Put them together: 6x + 24
Re-write the two sides:
- 6x + 24 = 25
- Begin to solve the equation shown below in steps 3 and 4
- Subtract 24 from each side, so it now looks like this: 6x = 1
- Divide each side by 6 to cancel out the 6 next to x. It should now look like this: x = 1/6
I hope this helps!
