Question

5x8-3x=-10 solve the equation

Answer 1

The answer is x = 17.

Explanation:

Given:

5x8-3x=-10 .

Now, to solve the equation:

`5* 8 -3x=-10`

`40-3x=-10`

Now, moving variables in one side and the numbers on the other:

`40+10=3x`

`50=3x`

Dividing both sides by 3 we get:

`16.67=x`

`x=17\ (Approximately)`.

Therefore, the answer is x = 17.
