5x−5=50

1 answer

To solve the equation \( 5x - 5 = 50 \), follow these steps:

  1. Add 5 to both sides of the equation: \[ 5x - 5 + 5 = 50 + 5 \] This simplifies to: \[ 5x = 55 \]

  2. Now, divide both sides by 5: \[ x = \frac{55}{5} \] This simplifies to: \[ x = 11 \]

So, the solution is \( x = 11 \).
