Answers
GPT 3.5
To solve for x, we can first distribute the 5 to the terms inside the parentheses:
5(x - 10) = 65
5x - 50 = 65
Then, we can isolate the term with x by adding 50 to both sides of the equation:
5x - 50 + 50 = 65 + 50
5x = 115
Finally, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 5:
5x / 5 = 115 / 5
x = 23
Therefore, the solution for x is 23.
5(x - 10) = 65
5x - 50 = 65
Then, we can isolate the term with x by adding 50 to both sides of the equation:
5x - 50 + 50 = 65 + 50
5x = 115
Finally, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 5:
5x / 5 = 115 / 5
x = 23
Therefore, the solution for x is 23.
