If 7+ x/3=5, what does x equal?

Question

how do I get the answer?

Answer 1

5 - 7 = x/3

5 -7 = -2 so x/3 = -2

therefore x= -2 x 3 which is -6.

Answer 2

Ans. Given 7+x/3=5
x/3= 5-7= -2
x= -6.

Answer 3

I am not sure if i am reading it right, but here goes.

7 + x/3 = 5
x/3 = 5-7
x/3 = -2
x = -2 * 3
x = -6

To find the answer, you want to have the x/3 on the left side, and the rest on the right side. to do this, you keep the x/3 on the left side. To lose the 7, you subtract 7 on that side, and on the right side also. Up to now, you have x/3=-2. Now, to just have the x = ? , you multiply x/3 by 3 so you lose your 3 on the left side, and your left with x. Then, you do the same on the right side, you multiply by 3. And there's your answer!

I hope this is what you were looking for

Answer 4

x/3 = 5 - 7 = -2 { Add 7 to both sides }

x = (-2) * 3 = -6 { Multiply both sides by 3 }

Answer 5

7 + x/3 = 5
x/3 = 5 -7
x/3 = -2
x = -2 x 3
x = -6
