Solve for x .

Question

5x + 5 = 35
Simplify your answer as much as possible.
x = ?

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 5x + 5 = 35 \), follow these steps:

1. Subtract 5 from both sides: \[ 5x + 5 - 5 = 35 - 5 \] This simplifies to: \[ 5x = 30 \]

2. Divide both sides by 5: \[ \frac{5x}{5} = \frac{30}{5} \] This simplifies to: \[ x = 6 \]

So, the solution is: \[ x = 6 \]
