Question

Help me with this equation!

28 — 3x = 13

possible answers:

A: -5
B: -11/3
C: 5
D: 11/3

Answer 1

A: 5

28-3x=13 You have to get rid of 28, so you

-28 -28 subtract 28 from both sides. 28-28 and 13-28

-3x=-15 Now you have to divide both sides by -3

-3x = -15 So, on the left side, you get 1 or just x, -3 -3 and on the right side 5

x=5

I really hope that makes sense

Answer 2

Answer would be C, it would equal 5
