(A x = 4
(B x = 2
(C x = -2
(D x = -4

1 answer

To solve the equation \(-5 + 2x = -3\), follow these steps:

  1. Add 5 to both sides of the equation:

\[ 2x = -3 + 5 \]

\[ 2x = 2 \]

  1. Divide both sides by 2:

\[ x = \frac{2}{2} \]

\[ x = 1 \]

None of the options provided (A: 4, B: 2, C: -2, D: -4) are correct, since the solution is \(x = 1\).
