Sagot :

Step-by-step explanation:

5 − 3x = −7

=> 5 + 7 = 3x

=> 12 = 3x

[tex] = > x = \frac{12}{3} [/tex]

=> x = 4 (Ans)

Given :

  • 5 − 3x = −7

⠀

To Find :

  • The required value of x .

⠀

Solution :

[tex]\qquad \sf \: { \dashrightarrow 5 - 3x = - 7}[/tex]

⠀

Adding (–5) to both sides :

[tex]\qquad \sf \: { \dashrightarrow 5 + ( - 5) \: − 3x = −7 + ( - 5)}[/tex]

[tex]\qquad \sf \: { \dashrightarrow \: − 3x = - 12}[/tex]

⠀

Dividing both sides by 3 :

[tex]\qquad \sf \: { \dashrightarrow \dfrac{ - 3x}{3} = \dfrac{ - 12}{3} } [/tex]

[tex]\qquad \sf \: { \dashrightarrow − x = −4}[/tex]

⠀

Cancelling (–) from both sides we get :

[tex]\qquad {\pmb {\bf{ \dashrightarrow x = 4}}} \\ [/tex]

⠀

Therefore, The required value of x is 4.
