Question

Solve for x: 3x-5=2 A. no solution B. 7/3 C. -1 D. 3

Answer 1

3x - 5 = 2   Add 5 to both sides
     3x = 7   Divide both sides by 3
       x = $\frac{7}{3}$

The answer is B. $\frac{7}{3}$ .

Answer 2

Add 5 to the two and you get 7... because you use inverse opperations to make the 5 go a way you would have to add the 5. so now you will have the following...

3x=7 
to get the x alone you have to divide both sides by 3
so x=7/3
