Question

$$5x/2-3=-5(-3-2)-16$$

Solve for x

$x = \frac{24}{5} = 4\frac{4}{5} = 4.8$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by $2$.

$$5x-6=-10\left(-3-2\right)-32$$

Subtract $2$ from $-3$ to get $-5$.

$$5x-6=-10\left(-5\right)-32$$

Multiply $-10$ and $-5$ to get $50$.

$$5x-6=50-32$$

Subtract $32$ from $50$ to get $18$.

$$5x-6=18$$

Add $6$ to both sides.

$$5x=18+6$$

Add $18$ and $6$ to get $24$.

$$5x=24$$

Divide both sides by $5$.

$$x=\frac{24}{5}$$
