Question

2x - 3 + 3x = -23
solve for x. I woild like a step by step so i can learn how to do it​

Answer 1

Answere:

x=-4

Explanation:

well, if you have the equation 2x-3+3x=-23, The first thing you wanna do is add up the X's so 2x+3x=5x, and then you put the 5x in the equation instead of 2x+3x:

-3+5x=-23

Then you since you have a -3, you should add 3 on BOTH sides of the equal sighn. And when you add 3 and -23 you get -20, so the new equation is:

5x=-20, from there you can tell X=-4

Tell me if you have any questions, and im sorry if the explaination is not thta good, I explain stuff better when i am face to face with someone, Have a good day!

Answer 2

x= -4

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify

2x-3+3x=-23 turns into

5x-3=-21 -- combined like terms

Step 2: Start Solving

5x-3 = -23

+3 +3 -- Getting x alone by adding 3 to cancel it out

5x = -20

/5 /5 -- getting x alone by dividing by 5 to again cancel it out

Step 3: The answer

x = -4
