Question

-5 – 3(x – 8) = -5x + 19

Answer 1

`x=0`

Explanation:

Given the following question:


`-5 - 3(x - 8) = -5x + 19`

To find the answer expand the equation, add/subtract on both sides, and simplify the expression.


`-5 - 3(x - 8) = -5x + 19`

`-5-3(x-8)=-3x+19`

`-3x+19=-5x+19`

`19-19=0`

`19-19=0`

`-3x=-5x`

`-3x+5x=-5x+5x`

`-3x+5x=2x`

`2x=0`

`2x/2=x`

`0/2=0`

`x=0`

Your answer is "x = 0."

Hope this helps.
