What is the answer to, -2x - 13 = -3x - 5

-2x - 13 = -3x - 5

Step 1: Combine like terms

x's go with x's (-2x and -3x). To do this add 2x to both sides

(-2x + 2x) - 13 = (-3x + 2x) - 5

(0) - 13 = (-x) - 5

- 13 = -x - 5

normal numbers go with normal numbers ( -13 and -5). To do this add 5 to both sides

(- 13 + 5) = -x + (- 5 + 5)

-8 = -x + (0)

-8 = -x

Step 2: Isolate x by dividing -1 to both sides (this will take the negative sign away from the x)

8 = x

x= 8

14.3

step-by-step explanation:

add all the numbers together.
