Corinne solved the equation below:

5x = 95
5x − 5 = 95 − 5
x = 90

Is Corinne's solution correct? If the solution is incorrect, explain why it is incorrect and show the correct steps to solve the equation. (5 points)

1 answer

Corinne's solution is incorrect. Here are the correct steps to solve the equation:

Given equation: 5x = 95

To solve for x, you need to isolate x on one side of the equation.

Divide both sides by 5:
5x / 5 = 95 / 5
x = 19

Therefore, the correct solution is x = 19.
