The equation is x 5 = 22.
Apply addition property of equality: Add 5 to each side.
x 5 + 5 = 22 + 5
x + 0 = 22 + 5 (Apply additive inverse property: 5 + 5 = 0)
x = 22 + 5 (Apply additive identity property: x + 0 = x)
x = 17 (Add: 22 + 5 = 17)
Check:
To check the solution, substitute x = 17 in original equation.
x 5= 22 17 5 = 22
22 = 22 (Subtract: 175= 22)
The statement is true.
The value of x = 17.
