Question

Solve for x

-3x + 5= -8 + 10​

Answer 1

1

Explanation:

you should remove 8 out of 10 then 2 will remain

then add negative 5 to both sides then we will left with -3x = -3

divide -3 on both sides we find x = 1

Answer 2

x=1

Explanation:

-3x + 5= -8 + 10​

Combine like terms

-3x+5 = 2

Subtract 5 from each side

-3x+5-5 = 2-5

-3x = -3

Divide by -3

-3x/-3 = -3/-3

x =1
