Question

How do you get -2 from
-13 = -5x -23

Answer 1

Step-by-step answer:

-13 = -5x - 23

-13 + 23 = -5x - 23

-5x = 10

x = 10 ÷ (-5) = -2

Answer 2

Answer:

$-13=-5x-23$

First, we Switch sides:

• $-5x-23=-13$

Then we, add 23 from both sides:

• $-5x-23+23=-13+23$

• $-5x=10$

Divide both sides by -5:

• $\frac{-5x}{-5}=\frac{10}{-5}$

• $x=-2$
