x=4/7
Step-by-step explanation:
get x alone.
1st get 3 on the other side of the = sign by using the opposite sign. the opposite of addition is subtraction
-5x+3=2x-1
-3 -3
-5x=2x-1-3
-5x=2x-4
now we get the xs together. the opposite of addition( the 2 is positive) is subtraction
-5x=2x-4
-2x -2x
-7x=-4
now let's get the -7 out of here. -7 is multiplying by x. the opposite of multiplication is division.
-7x = -4
-7. -7
x=-4/-7
negative divided by a negative is a positive
x=4/7
