Solve for x.
3x - 5 = 10
x equals.....
help

Answer:
[tex]x = 5[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]3x - 5 = 10[/tex]
We want to isolate the x.
[tex]3x - 5 = 10\\+5\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\; +5[/tex]
[tex]3x = 15[/tex]
Now, we want the x not to have a coefficient. We want it just to be x =. We will do this via inverse operations. Since 3 x is 3 multiplied by x, we will divide each side by 3.
[tex]\frac{3x}{3} \;=\;\frac{15}{3}[/tex]
[tex]x = 5[/tex]

To solve for x, we need to first get it all by itself.
[tex]\twoheadrightarrow\sf3x-5=10[/tex]
[tex]\bullet[/tex] Add 5 to both sides
[tex]\twoheadrightarrow\sf3x=15[/tex]
[tex]\bullet[/tex] Divide by 3 on both sides
[tex]\twoheadrightarrow\sf x=5[/tex]
[tex]\bullet[/tex] Great job! We solved for the variable x
