Question

Please help -2=3x/5+1

Answer 1

X = -5

Explanation:

Subtract one from both sides

- 3 = 3x / 5

multiply by 5 to remove fraction

-15 = 3x

divide by 3

x = -5

Answer 2

x = -5

Explanation:

Now we have to,

→ Find the required value of x.

The equation is,

→ -2 = (3x/5) + 1

Then the value of x will be,

→ -2 = (3x/5) + 1

→ (3x/5) + 1 = -2

→ (3x/5) = -2 - 1

→ (3x/5) = -3

→ 3x = -3 × 5

→ 3x = -15

→ x = -15/3

→ [ x = -5 ]

Hence, the value of x is -5.
