Solve for x 5x+c=k

$5 x + c = k$

Step 1

Subtract $c$ from both sides of the equation.

$5 x = k - c$

Step 2

Divide each term in $5 x = k - c$ by $5$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $5 x = k - c$ by $5$ .

$\frac{5 x}{5} = \frac{k}{5} + \frac{- c}{5}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $5$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{5 x}{5} = \frac{k}{5} + \frac{- c}{5}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x = \frac{k}{5} + \frac{- c}{5}$

Simplify the right side.

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$x = \frac{k}{5} - \frac{c}{5}$
