Answer 2

Answer:

x= -0.33 or -1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

What you have to do is isolate the x variable, you do the opposite to the other side of the equation to isolate the x.

Step 1- Subtract 3 to both sides of the equation.

-6x+3= 5

     -3  -3

-6x= 2

Step 2- Divide both sides of the equation by -6.

-6x= 2

 -6  -6

x= -0.3333...

So, x equals -0.333 or -1/3.
