Answer:
The answer is x = 17.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
5x8-3x=-10 .
Now, to solve the equation:
[tex]5\times 8 -3x=-10[/tex]
[tex]40-3x=-10[/tex]
Now, moving variables in one side and the numbers on the other:
[tex]40+10=3x[/tex]
[tex]50=3x[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 3 we get:
[tex]16.67=x[/tex]
[tex]x=17\ (Approximately)[/tex].
Therefore, the answer is x = 17.
