Question

im solving variables i need to simplify -5x + 3 (x+5) = -3

Answer 1

Answer:

x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

Add similar elements: -5x+3x=-2x

-2x+15=-3

Subtract 15 from both sides

-2x + 15-15=-3-15

Simplify

-2x=-18

Divide both sides by -2

-21/-2 = -18/-2

Simplify

x=9

X=9 would be the answer
