Question

1. solve.

18 = 5m + 3

1. solve.

\\(\frac{1}{5}x - 2 = 4\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate term with $m$

Subtract 3 from both sides:
$18 - 3 = 5m + 3 - 3$
$15 = 5m$

Step2: Solve for $m$

Divide both sides by 5:
$\frac{15}{5} = \frac{5m}{5}$
$3 = m$

Step3: Isolate term with $x$

Add 2 to both sides:
$\frac{1}{5}x - 2 + 2 = 4 + 2$
$\frac{1}{5}x = 6$

Step4: Solve for $x$

Multiply both sides by 5:
$5 \times \frac{1}{5}x = 6 \times 5$
$x = 30$

Answer:

For problem 5: $m=3$
For problem 8: $x=30$
