Answer:
Explanation:
so just solve this as if it's
-5= 2x+3
and
2x+3 = 7 ( be careful not to switch sides or the arrow switches too)
the the top equation looks like
-8=2x
-8/2 = x
-4 =x
the bottom equation looks like
2x = 4
x = 4/2
x = 2
now put it back together with the arrows in the same direction :) ( we don't have to worry about switching directions of the arrows b/c we didn't switch side, multiply or divide by a negative, so all good :P)
-4<x<=2
