Question

5+2x = -27/8
How explain​

Answer 1

Here is the answer!!!!!!!

Answer 2

x = -4 3/16.

Explanation:

First, convert -27/8 to a mixed number. -3 3/8.

So we can take 5 + 2x = -3 3/8 and subtract 5 from both sides (to get rid of the 5 on the left)

The equation turns into this: 2x = -8 3/8.

Now we can divide by 2 on both sides.

The equation becomes x = -4 3/16.

Hope this helps!
