5x-8=22 what is the answer

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

5x-8=22

Add 8 to each side

5x-8+8=22+8

5x = 30

Divide each side by 5

5x/5 = 30/5

x = 6

Simplifying

5x + - 8 = 22

Reorder the terms:

-8 + 5x = 22

Solving

-8 + 5x = 22

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '8' to each side of the equation.

-8 + 8 + 5x = 22 + 8

Combine like terms: - 8 + 8 = 0

0 + 5x = 22 + 8

5x = 22 + 8

Combine like terms: 22 + 8 = 30

5x = 30

Divide each side by '5'.

x = 6

Simplifying

x = 6
