Steps Problem Solution

1

Simplify the equation

\$ 5(x+a)=b \$

2

Given equation

\$ 5(x+a)=b \$

3

After eleminating the brackets we get

\$ 5x+5a=b \$

4

Adding "-5a" on both sides of the equation

\$ 5x+5a-5a=b-5a \$

5

After cancellation we get

\$ 5x=b-5a \$

6

Dividing on both sides by "5" we get

\$ (5x)/5=(b-5a)/5 \$

7

After cancellation we get

\$ x=(b-5a)/5 \$

8

Hence the solution of the given equation is

\$ x=b/5-a \$
