Answer: x = 3#1 -2x + 5 = -31​

Answered on

Given the equation:

-2x + 5 = -31

Solve for x = 3

Solution:

In order to the value, we substitute 3 to the value of x.

-2x + 5 = -31

-2(3) + 5 = -31

-6 + 5 = -31

-1 = -31

Transpose -1 to the other side of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that when transposing a number, the sign changes.

= -31 - 1

= -32

Final answer:

= -32
