Original Equation: -5x + 2 = 5 First Step: --5x = 3

distributive property of multiplication over addition
subtraction property of equality associative property of addition
division property of equality

subtraction property of equality.

Step-by-step explanation:

the change made in the equation is that you subtracted 2 on both sides, which cancels out the 2 on the left and equals the 3 on the right. hope this helps :)

answer: 12

step-by-step explanation:

because yes

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
