Isolate variable term: Isolate the variable term on one side of the equation.To do this, we need to subtract 5 from both sides of the equation to get rid of the constant term on the left side.−5x+5−5=5−5
Simplify both sides: Simplify both sides of the equation.−5x=0
Solve for x: Solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by -5").\(\newline\$-5x / -5 = 0 / -5\)
Find value of x: Simplify the equation to find the value of \(x\).\(x = \frac{0}{-5}\)\(x = 0\)
