Solve -3(2-x)=-5x-2

Evaluate

- 3 (2 - x) = - 5 x - 2

Expand the expression

More Steps

- 6 + 3 x = - 5 x - 2

Move the expression to the left side

- 6 + 3 x + 5 x = - 2

Move the expression to the right side

3 x + 5 x = - 2 + 6

Add and subtract

More Steps

8 x = - 2 + 6

Add and subtract

8 x = 4

Divide both sides

\frac{8 x}{8} = \frac{4}{8}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{4}{8}

Solution

x = \frac{1}{2}

Alternative Form

x = 0.5
