    -15   -15

-5x = -40

÷-5    ÷-5

x = 8

Answer:

x=8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yo can solve the equation in two steps: multiplying and adding.

First, let's pass the -5 to the other side multiplying by [tex]\frac{1}{-5}[/tex] in both sides and solve the division obtained:

[tex]x-3=-25\frac{1}{-5}[/tex]

[tex]x-3=\frac{-25}{-5}[/tex]

[tex]x-3=5[/tex]

Finally, let's add 3 in both sides to clear x and solve the addition obtained:

[tex]x=5+3[/tex]

[tex]x=8.[/tex]

Then, the solution to the equation is x=8.
