5x +35 175

1 answer

To solve the equation 5x + 35 = 175, we need to isolate x.

First, we want to get rid of the constant term on the left side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 35 from both sides:

5x + 35 - 35 = 175 - 35
5x = 140

Next, we want to isolate x by dividing both sides by 5:

5x/5 = 140/5
x = 28

Therefore, the solution to the equation 5x + 35 = 175 is x = 28.
