Answer:

x = 4

Explanation:

Use the Multiplicative Distribution Law: 8 x + 6 - 5 x + 3 = -3.

Rearrange any unnamed terms towards the equation's left side: 8 x- 5 x = -4 -6 -3

Add similar terms: 3 x = -3 -6 -3

Determine this sum as well as the difference: 3 x = -12

Reduce the GCF (greatest common factor) on both sides of the equation: x = -4

Answer: x = -4

Answer:

x = -4

Explanation:

Given equation,

→ -2(-4x - 3) - 5x + 3 = -3

Now the value of x will be,

→ -2(-4x - 3) - 5x + 3 = -3

→ 8x + 6 - 5x + 3 = -3

→ (8x - 5x) + (6 + 3) = -3

→ 3x + 9 = -3

→ 3x = -3 - 9

→ 3x = -12

→ x = -12/3

→ [ x = -4 ]

Hence, the value of x is -4.
