Question

5x-102=13

Answer 1

To solve for x, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.

First, let's simplify the equation by combining like terms:

5x - 102 = 13

Next, let's move the constant term (-102) to the other side of the equation by adding 102 to both sides:

5x = 13 + 102

This simplifies to:

5x = 115

To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of x (5):

x = 115 / 5

x = 23

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 23.
