Respuesta :
Subtract 13 from both sides
-5x = -17 - 13
Simplify -17 - 13 to -30
-5x = -30
Divide both sides by -5
x = -30/-5
Two negatives make a positive
x = 30/5
Simplify 30/5 to 6
x = 6
Answer: x=6 and 6=x *The answer should be have positive sign.*
Step-by-step explanation:
subtraction property of equality is subtracting the same number from both sides of an equation does not change the equation.
a-c=b-c
subtract by 13 both sides of an equation.
-5x+13-13=-17-13
simplify by equation.
-5x=-30
then divide by -5 both sides of an equation.
-5x-5=-30/-5
simplify by equation.
30/5=6
30/6=5
6*5=30
5*6=30
It change negative to positive.
x=6
Hope this helps!
Thanks!
Have a great day!
