Question

Fill in the blanks to make the statement true:

$\frac{x}{5}+30=18$ has the solution as _______.

Answer 1

Given, $\frac{x}{5}+30=18\Rightarrow \frac{x}{5}+30-30=18-30\Rightarrow \frac{x}{5}=18-30\Rightarrow \frac{x}{5}=-12\Rightarrow \frac{x}{5}\times 5=-12\times 5\Rightarrow x=-60$
Hence, the solution is -60.
