1/5(5x+12)=18 answer this

Verified Answer :

1/5 (5x + 12) = 18
5/5x + 12/5 = 18
x = 18 - 12/5
x =( 90 - 12)/5
x = 78/5

First you distribute \(1/5\) to \((5x+12)\)
So you should get \(x+2.4=18\)
Next, you subtract \(2.4\) from each side to isolate \(x\)
Finally you should have this: \(x=15.6\)
Hope this helps!!
