Ingram · Answer 1

(43=8+5x) to solve this equation you would subtract 8 from 43. giving you, 35=5x. then divide by five on both sides. you should get x=7

Kale · Answer 2

It'd be 7, 7x5 is 35, and then 35+8 is 43.

Well that's the answer for the equation, maybe you should list the equations if you're asking someone to pick one.
