Kayla Warren · Answer 1

X + - 5 = - 13

x - 5 = - 13

+5 + 5

x = - 8

Answer: The blank is - 8

Efrain · Answer 2

First make the dash an x. Then move over to the other side of the = so it looks like this:

-5=-13-x

You take - 13 to the other side of the equal sign so it looks like this:

-5+13=-x

Then:

8=-x or x=-8

Hopefully that makes sense.
