The answer is 0.5
2.5/5=0.5
E is exponents, D is division, A is addition
6x + x + x - 5 - 2 = 8 + 2x + x
combine like terms
8x -7 = 8 +3x
subtract 3x from each side
5x -7 = 8
add 7 to each side
5x = 15
divide by 5
x=3
Answer: 8x -7 = 8 +3x
x=3
The answer is x=11
4x-30=14
You add 30 to each side=4x=44
Then you divide 44 by 4 which=11
