Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
Alright, so we have the problem 5x-16=79. First, we need to add 16 to both sides of the equation to cancel out the 16 like this:
5x - 16 = 79
+ 16 + 16
5x = 95
Now we need to divide the 5 into the 5x to cancel out the 5. This will leave us with the variable left over like this:
x = 95
5
Five can be divided into 95, so 95 divided by 5 = 19. So the answer is:
x = 19
I hope this helps.
