Solve the equation for x, and enter your answer below.

7 x - 5 = 65

x=10

Step-by-step explanation:

7x - 5=65

+5 + 5 so the 5's cancel so add 5 to 65

7x = 70 because you add 5 to 65 to get 70

7x 7

7 x cancels out so you answer will be

x=10

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

7 x - 5 = 65

7 times what? (x) - 5 equals 65

Well we know that x has to be less than 65 and more than 7 and - 5.

So 7 must be multiplied by numbers 8, and up.

7 * 8 - 5 = 51, NOT 65.

7 * 9 - 5 = 58, NOT 65.

7 * 10 - 5 = Does equal 65.

Therefore, x is equivalent to 10.
