Question

$$995=100+(x-1) \times 5$$

Solve for x

$x=180$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply $x-1$ by $5$.

$$995=100+5x-5$$

Subtract $5$ from $100$ to get $95$.

$$995=95+5x$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$95+5x=995$$

Subtract $95$ from both sides.

$$5x=995-95$$

Subtract $95$ from $995$ to get $900$.

$$5x=900$$

Divide both sides by $5$.

$$x=\frac{900}{5}$$

Divide $900$ by $5$ to get $180$.

$$x=180$$
