Question

What is 5x - 23 = 10x + 3

Answer 1

x = -26/5

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 23 = 10x + 3

1) Subtract 5x from both sides.

-23 = 10x + 3 - 5x

2) Simplify 10x + 3 - 5x to 5x + 3

-23 = 5x + 3

3) Subtract 3 from both sides.

-23 - 3 = 5x

4) Simplify -23 - 3 to -26.

-26 = 5x

5) Divide both sides by 5.

-26/5 = x

6) Switch sides.

x = -26/5
