SOLVING EQUATIONS
1) Solve 3x - 5 = -26
SOLVING QUADRATIC EQUATIONS

Answer 1

Explanation:

`\sf \bf We \: have,`

`\sf 3x - 5 = -26`

`\sf : \implies \bf 3x - 5 \green{+5}= -26\green{+5}`

`\sf : \implies \bf 3x =-21`

`\sf : \implies \bf 3x× \green{(1)/(3)}=-21× \green{(1)/(3)}`

`\sf : \implies \bf \underline{\boxed{\sf \bf x = -7}}`

Answer 2

x = -7

Explanation:

This isn't a quadratic.

Step 1: Write out equation

3x - 5 = -26

Step 2: Add 5 to both sides

3x = -21

Step 3: Divide both sides by 3

x = -7
