Answer :
(x - 2)/5 = 3
Multiply 5 to both sides:
x - 2 = 15
Add 2 to both sides:
x = 17
Multiply 5 to both sides:
x - 2 = 15
Add 2 to both sides:
x = 17
[tex]\frac{x - 2}{5} = 3[/tex]
[tex]3(5) = x - 2[/tex]
[tex]15 = x - 2[/tex]
[tex]15 + 2 = x - 2 + 2[/tex]
[tex]17 = x[/tex]
[tex]3(5) = x - 2[/tex]
[tex]15 = x - 2[/tex]
[tex]15 + 2 = x - 2 + 2[/tex]
[tex]17 = x[/tex]
