Question

how do i solve -3=-5+x?? do i get rid of 5 or x first?

Answer 1

-5

Answer 2

-3+5=x ===> 2=x ==> x=2, you never get rid of x

Answer 3

-5+x = -3
x = -3+5
x = 2

Answer 4

or if u want to get rid then
-5+x = -3
-5+x+5= -3 +5
x = 2

Answer 5

in order to isolate x, you need to add 5 to both sides.

you may add or you may transfer it to the other side of the equation eith opposite sign
