Hi Class,

To solve for ( x ) in the equation:

[ 5x = 30 ]

We divide both sides by 5:

[ x = \frac{30}{5} ]

[ x = 6 ]

Now, here's my own example:

Solve for ( y ):

[ 4y + 8 = 32 ]

To solve for ( y ), first, we subtract 8 from both sides:

[ 4y = 32 - 8 ]

[ 4y = 24 ]

Next, we divide both sides by 4:

[ y = \frac{24}{4} ]

[ y = 6 ]

I look forward to responding to my classmates' examples!
