Solve equation show all steps what is 2x-3x+5=18

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -13

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-3x+5=18

Combine like terms

-x +5 = 18

Subtract 5 from each side

-x +5-5 = 18-5

-x = 13

Multiply each side by -1

x = -13

Answer 2

Answer:

$\huge \boxed{{x=-13}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2x-3x+5=18$

$\sf Combine \ like \ terms.$

$-1x+5=18$

$\sf Subtract \ 5 \ from \ both \ sides.$

$-1x+5-5=18-5$

$-1x=13$

$\sf Multiply \ both \ sides \ by \ -1.$

$-1x \times (-1)=13 \times (-1)$

$x=-13$
