Question

Solve for x: 3+(-5)x=19

Answer 1

x = -3.2

Explanation:

First, subtract 3 from both sides of the equation so you're left with

(-5)x = 16

Then, divide both sides by -5

x = -3.2

Answer 2

3+(-5)x=19
Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.
-5x= 16
Divide by -5 on both sides
X= -3.2
