solve for x http://static.k12.com/bank_packages/files/media/mathml_2d66a0b057efd68489b9bd26f7082ab90a56addc_1.gif

Answer 1

\[\frac{x-3}2=-5\]

Answer 2

We see that there's a fraction, and we don't like fractions.

Answer 3

So, we times 2 to both sides to get rid of the fraction.
\[x-3=-10\]

Answer 4

Now, to find x, we need to add 3 to both sides, because that would neutralize the negative 3.

Answer 5

\[x-3+3=-10+3\]

Answer 6

\[x=-7\]
