-10 - 3x = 17
Add ten to both sides.
-3x = 27
Divide both sides by -3
x = -9
Check it.
-9 - (-27) = 17

You subtract 11 from both sides and r equals negative 7. See... r+11=3 -11 -11 r=7
Subtract negative two from negative nine. = Add two to negative nine. = Negative seven.
Set up the equation and solve: x + 5 = -13 (next subtract 5 from each side of the equation to solve for x) x = -18
A two-step equation with a variable that equals 23 could be (2x + 5 = 23). To solve for (x), first subtract 5 from both sides to get (2x = 18), and then divide by 2 to find (x = 9). Thus, the solution satisfies the original equation.
