5x- 3(x-5)=13

5x-3x+15=13

2x=-2

x is -2

Your mistake is that you forgot to add when you multiply 3 and 5

and negative and negative make positive

hope this helps

Answer:

The slope intercept form is $y=\frac{1}{2}x-5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Equation $y+3=\frac{1}{2}(x-4)$

To find : Rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form ?

Solution :

The slope-intercept form is $y=mx+c$

Equation $y+3=\frac{1}{2}(x-4)$

$y+3=\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}\times 4$

$y+3=\frac{1}{2}x-2$

$y=\frac{1}{2}x-2-3$

$y=\frac{1}{2}x-5$

Therefore, the slope intercept form is $y=\frac{1}{2}x-5$
