Bot GPT 3.5 To solve the equation 5(x-10)=65 for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.
First, distribute the 5 to both terms inside the parentheses:
5x - 50 = 65
Next, we want to get rid of the -50 on the left side of the equation. To do this, we can add 50 to both sides:
5x - 50 + 50 = 65 + 50
This simplifies to:
5x = 115
Finally, to solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by 5:
(5x)/5 = 115/5
This simplifies to:
x = 23
Therefore, the solution to the equation 5(x-10)=65 is x = 23.
