To find the value of x, you must get it on its own:
3 - 2x = -5
+ 2x
3 = -5 + 2x
+5
8 = 2x
÷ 2
4 = x
Hope this helped!

Answer:

The value of the equation is x=4.

Explanation:

Consider the provided equation.


3-2x=-5

We need to solve the provided equation for x.

Subtract 3 from both side.


3-3-2x=-5-3


-2x=-8

Divide both sides by -2.


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


x=4

Hence, the value of the equation is x=4.
