[tex]\sf\longmapsto 5( - x) + 3 = 23[/tex]
[tex]\sf\longmapsto - 5 + 3 = 23[/tex]
[tex]\sf\longmapsto - 5x + 3 = 23 - 3[/tex]
[tex]\sf\longmapsto - 5x = 20[/tex]
[tex]\sf\longmapsto x = \frac{20}{5} [/tex]
[tex]\sf\longmapsto x = - 4[/tex]
Hope it helps ~
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
5(9 - x) + 3 = 23
Multiply the number outside of the bracket with numbers in the bracket on LHS.
⇛45 - 5x + 3 = 23
Shift constants from LHS to RHS, changing it's sign.
⇛-5x = 23 - 45 - 3
⇛-5x = 23 - 42
⇛-5x = -19
Shift the number 5 from LHS to RHS.
⇛x = -19/-5
Therefore, x = 19/5
