Let's solve your equation step by step
-8=3-5(x+6)
Step 1: simplify both sides of the equation
-8=3-5(x+6)
-8=3+(-5)(x)+(-5(6) (distribute)
-8=3+-5x+-30
-8=(-5x)+(3+-30) (combine like terms)
-8=-5x+-27
-8=-5x-27
Step 2: flip the equation
-5x-27=-8
Step 3: add 27 to both sides
-5x-27+27=-8+27
-5x=19
Step 4: Divide both sides by -5
-5x/-5 = 19/-5
Answer : x= -19/5
Answer:
x = -19/5
Step-by-step explanation:
-8 = 3-5(x+6)
Distribute.
-8 = 3-5x-30
Combine like terms.
-8 = -27-5x
Add 27 on both sides.
-8 = -27-5x
+27 +27
19 = -5x
Divide by -5 on both sides.
19 = -5x
/-5 /-5
-19/5 = x
