Answer:
x = [tex]\frac{-17}{5}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
First, subtract 10 from both sides of the equation.
[tex]5x+10=-7[/tex]
[tex]5x+10-10=-7-10[/tex]
[tex]5x=-17[/tex]
Divide both sides by 5.
[tex]\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{-17}{5}[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{-17}{5}[/tex]
Hello there!
5x + 10 = -7
To solve this equation, we should start by substracting 10 from both sides.
5x + 10 - 10 = -7 - 10
Remember, when we have two negative signs, we add them and we keep the negative sign
thus,
5x = -17
Then divide both sides by 5
5x/5 = -17/5
x = -17/5
Sorry for the late reply, I had to go do something else as I was typing the answer.
