Correct answer brainlliest!

Answer 1

$\large\sf\underline{Given\::}$

• $\sf\:2x-5=-3$

‎

‎

$\large\sf\underline{To\:find\::}$

• Value of x

‎

‎

$\large\sf\underline{Solution\::}$

$\sf\:2x-5=-3$

‎

• Transposing ( - 5 ) to RHS and we do know that the - sign changes to +

‎

$\sf\implies\:2x=-3+5$

$\sf\implies\:2x=2$

‎

• Transposing 2 to RHS and we do know that the sign × changes to ÷

‎

$\sf\implies\:x=\cancel{\frac{2}{2}}$

$\small{\underline{\boxed{\mathrm\pink{\implies\:x=1}}}}$ ★

_________________________

‎

$\large\sf\underline{Verifying\::}$

$\sf\:2x-5=-3$

‎

• Substituiting the value of x as 1

‎

$\sf\implies\:2 \times 1-5=-3$

$\sf\implies\:2 -5=-3$

$\sf\implies\: -3=-3$

$\small\fbox\blue{Hence\:Verified}$
