1. You need to get 5x on one side all by itself. So, you need to add 2 to the other side to undo the subtraction
[tex]5x = 8 + 2[/tex]
[tex]5x = 10[/tex]
2. Divide both sides by 5
[tex] \frac{5x}{5} = \frac{10}{5} [/tex]
[tex]x = 2[/tex]
[tex]5x = 8 + 2[/tex]
[tex]5x = 10[/tex]
2. Divide both sides by 5
[tex] \frac{5x}{5} = \frac{10}{5} [/tex]
[tex]x = 2[/tex]
