How do solve -3 plus x equals -x plus 5?

Answer 1

2

Answer 2

-3 + x = -x +5 original problem

+3 +x +x +3 add x to both sides add 3 to both sides

0 + 2x = 0 + 8 -3 + 3 = 0 x + x = 2x -x + x = 0 5 + 3 = 8

2x = 8 both zeroes can be gotten rid of

2x/2 = 8/2 divide both sides by 2

x = 4 and you get x equals 4
