1 answer

The first step is to distribute the 5 to the terms inside the parentheses:

5x - 50 = 65

Next, we need to isolate the variable x. To do this, we can add 50 to both sides of the equation:

5x - 50 + 50 = 65 + 50
5x = 115

Finally, we can divide both sides of the equation by 5 to solve for x:

5x/5 = 115/5
x = 23

So the solution to the equation is x = 23.
