d
-5
a) 5
To solve the equation x/5 + 3 = 2, follow these steps:
1. Start by isolating the term with x on one side of the equation. In this case, we can subtract 3 from both sides:
x/5 + 3 - 3 = 2 - 3
x/5 = -1
2. To get rid of the fraction, multiply both sides of the equation by 5:
5 * (x/5) = -1 * 5
x = -5
So, the answer is d) -5.
