Question

Please I need help with both problems .( also show work plz)​

Answer 1

4) x= -50

5) x= 5

Explanation:

Number 5

Simplifying

-3x + -2 = -17

Reorder the terms:

-2 + -3x = -17

Solving

-2 + -3x = -17

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '2' to each side of the equation.

-2 + 2 + -3x = -17 + 2

Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0

0 + -3x = -17 + 2

-3x = -17 + 2

Combine like terms: -17 + 2 = -15

-3x = -15

Divide each side by '-3'.

x = 5

Simplifying

x = 5

Number 4

x/5+7 = -3 // + 3

x/5+3+7 = 0

1/5*x+10 = 0 // - 10

1/5*x = -10 // : 1/5

x = -10/1/5

x = -50

x = -50

Answer 2

4. x = 50

5. x = 5

Explanation:

For question 4:

1. Multiply both sides: x + 35 = -15
2. Move the constant to the right: x = -15 - 35
3. Calculate: x = -50

For question 5:

1. Move the constant to the right: -3x = -17 + 2
2. Calculate the sum: -3x = -15
3. Divide both sides: x = 5
