5x-3=28

1 answer

To solve the equation \( 5x - 3 = 28 \), follow these steps:

  1. Add 3 to both sides of the equation:

    \[ 5x - 3 + 3 = 28 + 3 \]

    This simplifies to:

    \[ 5x = 31 \]

  2. Now, divide both sides by 5:

    \[ x = \frac{31}{5} \]

Thus, the solution to the equation is:

\[ x = 6.2 \]
