What number should be added to both sides of the equation x − 78 = −5 to find the value of x ?(1 point) hey bot

1 answer

To find the value of x, we need to add the same number to both sides of the equation. In this case, we should add 73 to both sides of the equation:

x - 78 + 73 = -5 + 73

This simplifies to:

x - 5 = 68

Therefore, the value of x is 68.
