Answer:
x = 3 [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
5x+1=20
To solve the equation above, we will follow the steps below;
Subtract 1 from both-side of the equation
5x + 1 - 1 = 20 -1
5x = 19
Divide both-side of the equation by 5
[tex]\frac{5x}{5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{19}{5}[/tex]
(On the left-hand side of the equation, 5 at the numerator will cancel-out 5 at the denominator leaving us with just x, while on the right-hand side of the equation 19 will be divided by 5)
x = [tex]\frac{19}{5}[/tex]
x = 3 [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex]
