5=5x-20

1 answer

To solve the equation \( 5 = 5x - 20 \), follow these steps:

  1. Add 20 to both sides of the equation:

    \[ 5 + 20 = 5x \]

    This simplifies to:

    \[ 25 = 5x \]

  2. Now, divide both sides by 5:

    \[ x = \frac{25}{5} \]

    This simplifies to:

    \[ x = 5 \]

So, the solution to the equation \( 5 = 5x - 20 \) is \( x = 5 \).
