Question

Please help! Drag the correct steps into order to solve the equation 5x+5=−10 for x. (see the attachment)

Answer 1

`5x=-15` and
`x=-3`

Explanation:

The first step when solving for a single variable is to isolate the variable. So, we start by subtracting 5 from both sides.

`5x+5=-10\\5x=-15`

And then we can divide both sides by 5 in order to get x by itself.

`5x=-15\\x=-3`

Hope this helps!
