Hello there! :)
Answer:
[tex]\boxed{X=1}[/tex]
THE ANSWER SHOULD HAVE A POSITIVE SIGN!*
Step-by-step explanation:
Distributive Property: A(B+C)=AB+AC
You Expand. (Switch Sides)
5-(x+3)
-x+2
4x-3=-x+2
Then, you add by 3 both sides of an equation.
4x-3+3=-x+2+3
Add numbers from left/right.
3+2=5
4x=-x+5
You add by x both sides of an equation.
4x+x=-x+5+x
Simplify.
5x=5
Divide by 5 both sides of an equation.
5x/5=5/5
Divide numbers from left/right.
5/5=1
[tex]\boxed{X=1}\checkmark[/tex], which is our final answer.
Hope this helps!
Thanks!
Have a nice day! :)
