Sagot :

Simplify both sides of the equation

  • 5x+2=244

Subtract 2 from both sides

  • 5x+2−2=244−2
  • 5x=242

Divide both sides by 5

[tex] \frac{5x}{5} = \frac{242}{5} [/tex]

  • Answer

[tex] \: x = \dfrac{242}{5} [/tex]

OR

[tex] \: x = 48.4 [/tex]

The solution to the given problem is:

  • 48.4

To find the value of x, one would have to spread out the terms.

5x+2 = 244

Then we would make x the subject formula

5x= 244-2

5x=242

Divide both sides by 5 (value of x)

x= 242/5

Therefore, the value of x is  48. 4
