work it with the same rules as last time, but you have 3 options to move about in

amistre64 · Answer

most times its worked from middle out

anonymous · Answer

so 8 = 5 - 3x and 5 - 3x = -13?

amistre64 · Answer

yes, that is a fine way to work it

anonymous · Answer

ok so first on 8 = 5 - 3x.   -5 to both sides then divide 3?

amistre64 · Answer

yes, but divide by -3 ... and we are dividing by a negative; flip the sign

anonymous · Answer

ok so -1 < x??

amistre64 · Answer

very good

anonymous · Answer

ok and for 5 - 3x = -13.    -5 to both sides divide -3.

anonymous · Answer

amistre64 · Answer

yes, and say to yourself; divide by negative, flip the sign

anonymous · Answer
