x-5(x+3)=5 equation
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
x-5*(x+3) = 5
Expand brackets in the left part
x-5*x-5*3 = 5
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-15 - 4*x = 5
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 4 x = 20$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -4
x = 20 / (-4)
We get the answer: x = -5
