Question

How do I solve 5x+3=2(-4x-5)+2x

Answer 1

Answer:

$x= -\frac{13}{11}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute 2 through the parentheses.

5x+3=-8x-10+2x

Collect like terms

5x+3=-6x-10

Move variable to the left-hand side and change its sign.  Move constant to the right-hand side and change its sign.

5x+6x=-10-3

Collect like terms. Calculate the difference

11x=-13

Divide both sides by 11 and you get

x= -13/11
