Question

if 3 X + 5 is = -1 find the value of x​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

3 X + 5 = -1

3x= -1-5

= -6

x= -6/3

= -3

Answer 2

3x + 5 = -1 .

3x = -1 -5.( transposing 5 to RHS - Addition becomes subtraction ).

3x = -6.

x = -6 / 3( transposing 3 to RHS- Multiplication becomes division ).

x = -2.

Hence the value of x is -2.
