Question

How do you solve `10x - 3= 35`?

Answer 1

`x = \frac{38}{10} = \frac{19}{5} = 3.8`

Explanation:

Property of Equality:
Adding a number to both sides of a equation will not change the equality:
`10x - 3 + 3 = 35 +3`
`10x = 38`

Multiplying a number to both sides of a equation will also not change the equality:
`10x * \frac{1}{10} = 38 * \frac{1}{10}`
`x = 38 * \frac{1}{10}`
`x = \frac{38}{10} = \frac{19}{5} = 3.8`
