Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

5(x - 2) – x – 5 = -3

5x - 10 - x - 5 = - 3

5x - x = 10 + 5 - 3

4x = 12

x = 12 : 4

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5(x−2)−x−5=−3

(5)(x)+(5)(−2)+−x+−5=−3(Distribute)

5x+−10+−x+−5=−3

(5x+−x)+(−10+−5)=−3(Combine Like Terms)

4x+−15=−3

4x−15=−3

Step 2: Add 15 to both sides.

4x−15+15=−3+15

4x=12

Step 3: Divide both sides by 4.

[tex]\frac{4x}{4} =\frac{12}{4}[/tex]

x=3
