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

I think it is givin. But I’m am not 100% sure
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the equation
Use distributive property:
Use commutative property to rewrite the equation:
Add 10 th both sides:
Subtract 
Divide by 13:
Answer:
So if we are solving for x and y. First we need to subtract both equations. We take each equation and put in parenthesis and subtract.
y-y = (3x+7)-(-2x-3) =
0 = 3x+7+2x+3
0 = 5x+10
-10 = 5x
-2 = x.
Now we need to solve for y.
Plug it in for the first equation. -2*3+7 = -6+7 = 1
Test if we are correct and try in the second equation.
-2*-2-3 = 4-3 = 1
<u>x = -2</u>
<u>y = 1</u>
