<PRE><B>Question 145379</B>


{{{5x-3=28}}} Start with the given equation




{{{5x=28+3}}}Add 3 to both sides



{{{5x=31}}} Combine like terms on the right side



{{{x=(31)/(5)}}} Divide both sides by 5 to isolate x




{{{x=31/5}}} Reduce


--------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So our answer is {{{x=31/5}}}  (which is approximately {{{x=6.2}}} in decimal form)
