x+5=75/3

x+5=25

x=25-5

x=20

Answer 2

To find : value of $x$

Given : $3$ times the sum of $x$ and $5$ equals $75$ .

Solution :

• As per the given data we know tat  $3$ times the sum of $x$ and $5$ equals $75$ ,
• Therefore ,to find the value of $x$ we write as , $3 (x + 5 ) = 75$  .
• Now , using transposition method we find the value of $x$ by transposing variable terms to RHS and leaving constants at LHS we find $x$ .

• $3 (x + 5 ) = 75$  

       $3x + 15 = 75 \\3x =75-15 \\x = \frac{60}{3} \\x = 20$

Hence , value of $x$ is $20$ .
