Bot GPT 3.5 To solve the equation 5x - 42 = 8, you need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.
Step 1: Add 42 to both sides of the equation to get rid of the constant term:
5x - 42 + 42 = 8 + 42
This simplifies to:
5x = 50
Step 2: Divide both sides of the equation by 5 to solve for x:
(5x)/5 = 50/5
This simplifies to:
x = 10
Therefore, the solution to the equation 5x - 42 = 8 is x = 10.
