Question

solve for 3 = x + 3 − 5x

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed {x = 0}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for the value of $x$:

$3 = x + 3 - 5x$

-Com bine like terms:

$3 = x + 3 - 5x$

$3 = -4x + 3$

-Switch the equation around:

$3 = -4x + 3$

$-4x + 3 = 3$

-Subtract 3 on both sides:

$-4x + 3 - 3 = 3 - 3$

$-4x = 0$

-When you are dividing $0$ by a positive or negative integer, it would obviously be $0$:

$\boxed {x = 0}$

Therefore, the value of $x$ is $0$.
