What number should be added to both sides of the equation  x − 78 = −5 to find the value of x ?

4 answers

To find the value of x, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.

Currently, we have x - 78 = -5.

To isolate x, we can add 78 to both sides of the equation:

(x - 78) + 78 = -5 + 78

Simplifying the equation gives us:

x = 73

Therefore, the number that should be added to both sides of the equation is 78.
that's wrong
Apologies for the error. Let's correct the solution.

To find the value of x, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.

To isolate x, we can add 78 to both sides of the equation:

x - 78 + 78 = -5 + 78

Simplifying the equation gives us:
