Question

How to solve the equation -5x+13=-17

Answer 1

x=6

Explanation:

The first stem would be to isolate the variable so you would subtract both sided by 13 leaving -5x on the left side and -30 on the right side

-5x=-30

Now again, you need to isolate X so you divide both sides by negative 5

x=6

(positive 6 because when you divide two negatives it becomes positive )

Answer 2

Simple! Just Solve it!

Explanation:

First, move 13 to the other side, which turns it into a negative number,

`-5x+13=-17\\-5x=-30`

Next, divide both sides by -5

`(-5x)/(-5) =(-30)/(-5)`

`x=6`

There you go, that's how to solve it!
