-2x - 3 + 5x + 1 = -7
You asked:
Solve the equation \(-\left( 2 x \right) - 3 + 5 x + 1 = -7\) for the variable \(x\).
MathBot Answer:
The solution is: \[x = - \frac{5}{3} = -1.\overline{6}\]
\[\begin{aligned}-\left( 2 x \right) - 3 + 5 x + 1 &= -7\\3 x - 2 &= -7\\3 x &= -5\\x &= - \frac{5}{3}\end{aligned}\]
