Answer 5

thank you

Answer 6

Did you check that answer?

Answer 7

no

You will find a problem with it.

Answer 9

is this right 5x + 13 = -7
5x = -7 -13
5x = -20
divide both sides by 5.
x=-4 :)

Answer 10

| 5x + 13| = -7

(5x + 13) = -7 -(5x + 13) = -7
5x = -7 - 13 -5x - 13 = -7
5x = -20 -5x = -7 + 13
x = -4 -5x = 5
x = -1

answer is x = -4 and x = -1
