Question

Please help!! -2x = x - 5

Answer 1

Answer: x=5/3

Step-by-step explanation: -2x = x - 5

Subtract x from both sides.

−2x−x=−5

Simplify −2x−x to −3x−3x.

−3x=−5

Divide both sides by −3.

x=-5/-3

Two negatives make a positive.

x=5/3

In decimal form the answer is 1.666667

Hope this helps, also, have a blessed day!
