Answer:
25/3 which also equals to 8.3333333
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
−8(x−5)=−3x−7+x−3
(−8)(x)+(−8)(−5)=−3x+−7+x+−3(Distribute)
−8x+40=−3x+−7+x+−3
−8x+40=(−3x+x)+(−7+−3)(Combine Like Terms)
−8x+40=−2x+−10
−8x+40=−2x−10
Step 2: Add 2x to both sides.
−8x+40+2x=−2x−10+2x
−6x+40=−10
Step 3: Subtract 40 from both sides.
−6x+40−40=−10−40
−6x=−50
Step 4: Divide both sides by -6.
−6x−6
=
−50−6
x=
25/3
