Question

How to solve 3(×-5)-5=23​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x-5)-5=23

3x-15-5=23

3x-20=23

3x=23+20

3x=43

x=14.333

Answer 2

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3(x−5)−5=23

(3)(x)+(3)(−5)+−5=23(Distribute)

3x+−15+−5=23

(3x)+(−15+−5)=23(Combine Like Terms)

3x+−20=23

3x−20=23

Step 2: Add 20 to both sides.

3x−20+20=23+20

3x=43

Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.

3x /3  =  43 /3

x= 43 /3
