Hi there!
[tex]\large\boxed{x = 16}[/tex]
x / 2 - 5 = 3
Begin by adding 5 to both sides to isolate for x:
x / 2 - 5 + 5 = 3 + 5
x / 2 = 8
Multiply both sides by 2 to have "x" alone on the left-hand side:
(x / 2) × 2 = 8 × 2
x = 16
Answer:
because if x is 16
16/2 = 8 and so on 8 - 5= 3 so that is the answer
