Good evening ,
______
Answer:
x= -1
____________________
Step-by-step explanation:
-5X - 16 = 8x - 3
⇔-5x-8x = -3+16
⇔-13x = 13
⇔x = -1
Answer:
x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
-5X - 16 = 8x - 3
add 5x on both sides
⇒ -5X - 16+5x= 8x -3 + 5x
⇒ -16 = 13x -3
add 3 on both sides
⇒-16 + 3 = 13x -3 +3
⇒ -13 = 13x
divide both sides by 13
⇒ -13/13 =13x/13
∴ -1 = x
