Quizplus · Accepted Answer

We need to isolate x on one side of the equation.

Starting with:

$$5(x+1)=15$$

Divide both sides by 5:

$$\frac{5(x+1)}{5}=\frac{15}{5}$$

$$x+1=3$$

Subtract 1 from both sides:

$$x=2$$

Therefore, the answer is D.

Solve the Equation 5(x+1)=155 ( x + 1 ) = 155(x+1)=15

Solve the Equation $5 ( x + 1 ) = 15$
