Question

3. What is the solution set of the equation 3x + 5) = x + 2?

Answer 1

The solution set of 3x+5=x+2 is x=-1. This is because you want to get the variables on one side and the numbers on the other. you subtract x on both sides and subtract 5 on both sides. your equation then becomes 3x=-3. you then divide 3 on both sides and you get your answer of x=-1.
