Answer:
x= 3
Step-by-step explanation:
1. -5(3) + 2 = -13
2. -15 + 2 = -13 <em>A positive times a negative will always equal a negative</em>
3. -13 = -13 <em>Whenever you add anything to a negative number, the </em>
<em> number becomes smaller </em>
Ex: -10, -9, -8, -7, -6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...........
<em>Although the number itself becomes smaller, its value </em>
<em> becomes bigger </em>
Hope this helps.
