Question

Work each problem according to the instructions given.a. Solve: -x -5-5b. Find the value of — x — 5 when x is 3c. Solve for y: -x - 5y = 5d. Solve for x: -x - 5y = 5A. x=B. C. y=D. x=

Answer 1

a) Given:

`-x-5=5`

To solve for x:

Step-by-step explanation:

Adding 5 on both sides we get,

`\begin{gathered} -x-5+5=5+5 \\ -x=10 \end{gathered}`

Then, divide by -1 on both sides, we get,

`\begin{gathered} (-x)/(-1)=(10)/(-1) \\ x=-10 \end{gathered}`

Thus, the value of x is -10.

Final answer:

The value of x is,

`x=-10`
