Answer: -18 sowwy if im wrong
Step-by-step explanation:
Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :
-5+(x)/(3)-(-11)=0
Simplify [tex]\frac{x}{3}[/tex]
2.1 Adding a fraction to a whole
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 3 as the denominator :
-5 -5 • 3
-5 = —— = ——————
1 3
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:
-5 • 3 + x x - 15
—————————— = ——————
3 3
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 3 as the denominator :
-11 -11 • 3
-11 = ——— = ———————
1 3
(x-15) - (-11 • 3) x + 18
—————————————————— = ——————
3 3
Equation at the end of step 3 :
x + 18
—————— = 0
3
x+18
———— • 3 = 0 • 3
3
Now, on the left hand side, the 3 cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.
The equation now takes the shape :
x+18 = 0
Solve : x+18 = 0
Subtract 18 from both sides of the equation :
x = -18
One solution was found :
x = -18
