Can you solve a math problem!!?

Question

5(x+3)=-10

-2x+5=-13

Answer 1

Let me try it out: if they were to be solved separately

                         5(x+3)=-10

open the bracket:5x+15=-10

gather like terms:5x=-10-15

                         5x=-25

divide both sides by 5:x=-5

if the same rule is applied in the second the ans will be 9

  

But if they were solved simultaneously:x=-5

                                                        x=9

                                     when added:2x=4

                       divide both sides by 2:x=2

Answer 2

Assuming that those are two different math problems, your answers are below.

5 (x+3) = -10

x + 3 = -2

x = -5 (This is your first answer)

and

-2x + 5 = -13

-2x = -18

x = 9 (This is your second answer)

Answer 3

5(x + 3) = -10 ← distribute the 5

5x + 15 = -10 ← subtract 15 from both sides

5x = -25 ← divide both sides by 5

x = -5 ← final answer

-2x + 5 = -13 ← subtract 5 from both sides

-2x = -18 ←multiply both sides by -1

2x = 18 ← divide both sides by 2

x = 9 ← final answer

Good luck in your studies,
