3/5x + 22 = 28

1 answer

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

Starting with the given equation:

3/5x + 22 = 28

We can first subtract 22 from both sides of the equation to eliminate it from the left side:

3/5x = 28 - 22

Simplifying the right side:

3/5x = 6

To eliminate the fraction, we can multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 3/5, which is 5/3:

5/3 * 3/5x = 6 * 5/3

Simplifying:

1x = 10

Therefore, the solution is x = 10.
