We need to get x by itself.
We do that by subtracting 5 from both sides.
This leaves us with x = -7.
So x = -7 is the solution.
Answer:
The final answer is [tex]x = -7[/tex] .
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve the equation:
[tex]5 + x = -2[/tex]
Subtract both sides by 5:
[tex]5 - 5 + x = -2 -5[/tex]
[tex]x = -7[/tex]
So, therefore, [tex]x = -7[/tex] is the final answer.
