Question

I need helpp
5x+3=2x-15

Answer 1

x = -6

Explanation:

Equation is 5x + 3 = 2x - 15

First, we can subtract the constants

5x = 2x - 18

Then, we can subtract 2x on both sides

3x = -18

Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x

x = -6

Answer 2

x = -6

Explanation:

5x + 3 = 2x - 15

3x + 3 = -15

3x = -18

x = -6

Let's Check

5(-6) + 3 = 2(-6) - 15

-30 + 3 = -12 - 15

-27 = -27

So, x = -6 is the correct answer.
