Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for "" in the equation: , we apply operations on both sides of the equality such that lead us to isolate the value we need to solve for (in our case ) on one side of the equal sign.
Let's start by "adding" 5 to both sides, so we eliminate it on the left, proceeding to isolate the term that contains :
now proceed to eliminate the factor "x" that multiplies "", by dividing both sides by "x":
has been isolated on one side of the equal sign, so this is the expression we got for it:
