Answer:

I'm guessing you need to solve for X. X= -9

Explanation:

Add three to both sides of equation. -5X-3+3=42+3

simplify (add the numbers, -3+3=0). -5x=45

Divide both sides of the equation by the same term. -5X/-5 = 45/-5

Simplify. Cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator and divide the numbers. X= -9.
