Mathematics
1 answer:
nexus9112 [7]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

\boxed{ \bold{  \huge{\boxed{ \sf{x =   - 11}}}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\sf{5x + 23 = 2(x - 5)}

Distribute 2 through the parentheses

⇒\sf{5x  + 23 = 2x - 10}

Move 2x to left hand side and change it's sign

⇒\sf{5x - 2x + 23 =  - 10}

Move 23 to right hand side and change it's sign

⇒\sf{5x  - 2x =  - 10 - 23}

Collect like terms

⇒\sf{3x =  - 10 - 23}

Calculate

⇒\sf{3x =  - 33}

Divide both sides of the equation by 3

⇒\sf{ \frac{3x}{3}  =  \frac{ - 33}{3} }

Calculate

⇒\sf{x =  - 11}

Hope I helped!

Best regards!!
