Question

$$1-2x+5-3x=-3$$

Solve for x

$x = \frac{9}{5} = 1\frac{4}{5} = 1.8$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add $1$ and $5$ to get $6$.

$$6-2x-3x=-3$$

Combine $-2x$ and $-3x$ to get $-5x$.

$$6-5x=-3$$

Subtract $6$ from both sides.

$$-5x=-3-6$$

Subtract $6$ from $-3$ to get $-9$.

$$-5x=-9$$

Divide both sides by $-5$.

$$x=\frac{-9}{-5}$$

Fraction $\frac{-9}{-5}$ can be simplified to $\frac{9}{5}$ by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

$$x=\frac{9}{5}$$
