Question

- 5x - 5 = 3x + 19 what would X be?

Answer 1

-5x-5= 3x+19

= > -5x-3x= 19+5

= > -8x= 24

= >-x=24/8

= >x= -3

Answer 2

-5x - 5 = 3x + 19

---Move the x's to one side

-5x - 3x - 5 = 3x - 3x + 19

-8x - 5 = 19

---Isolate the -8x by removing the -5 from the left side

-8x - 5 + 5 = 19 + 5

-8x = 24

---Divide both sides by -8 to get x by itself

x = -3

Hope this helps!
