To solve the equation \( 5 = 5x - 20 \), follow these steps:
-
Add 20 to both sides of the equation:
\[ 5 + 20 = 5x \]
This simplifies to:
\[ 25 = 5x \]
-
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 \( x = 5 \).
