Question

X/2 + 3 = -5. What is x. Please 10 pts, idk why its 5+3 points but i put 10 pts.

Answer 1

x = -16

Explanation:

Your goal is to find the value of x, and to do that, you have to isolate it.

First, subtract 3 to both sides of the equation:

x/2 + 3 - 3= -5 - 3

x/2 = -8

Now, to get rid of the fraction, multiply by 2 on both sides of the equation:

2(x/2) = 2(-8)

x = -16

hope this helps :)
