show work two step equation!

Answer 1

x = -0.85

Explanation:

First, you divide 3 by 3, so that means you also divide 5 by 3, which is 1.66666666666... Now it is -2x =1.66666666666... Technically, it is 1.7, or 1.66666666666..., 1.7 divided by -2 is -0.85. Or if you want to keep 1.66666666666... it will equal -0.8499999999999...
