Answer:
STEP ONE: 2x
STEP TWO: 5=X (should be the final answer)

Hi Lasagna!
So basically, this is extremely simple. In order to "solve" that equation, the x has to be on one side. The easiest way to do this would be to take the 2x to the other side. If you want the 2x to go to the other side, you need to subtract it (since it is already positive, therefore it <em>needs </em>to cancel out). Once you do that, you must always do the same thing to the other side: subtract 2x from 3x. That should get you one x there, which you can just write as x if it's just one. Then you're all set! :D
A math expression is anything where you take one or more numbers and add them, subtract them, multiply, divide, etc etc
For example, 2+3 is a math expression
To make it an algebraic expression, we replace one of the numbers with a variable. Often this is the letter x. So let's say we replace the 2 with x. That would have the expression turn into x+3. What we're saying is "some number plus 3"
Normally 2+3 = 5 which is a true equation. Replace the 2 with x and we have x+3 = 5. So we're saying "some number plus 3 is 5". You can guess and check to find that the "some number" has to be 2
--------------------------------------
In summary, the expression example was x+3 and the equation was x+3 = 5
Note: an equation is simply two expressions set equal to each other.
