Ashtyn Hunt · Answer 1

Well you would want to find x so you want to be itself

first subtract 5 on both sides to get x by itself and whatever you do to one side you have to do to the other

X + 5=3

-5.-5

x = - 2 < that's your answer

Yael Mcdonald · Answer 2

The x is going to be a negative number to get the 3. so start off minus 5 from plus 5 and minus five from the other side too. the positive 5 and the negative cancel out and then take it fromt here with three and the negative 5.
