Question

2x+5-x=3 (2×-3) solve each equation

Answer 1

The answer is x =14/5

2x+5-x=3 (2×-3)

distribute the 3.
2x + 5 -x = 6x -9

Combine like terms on the left.
x +5 = 6x -9

Subtract the 6x term from both sides.
-5x + 5 = -9

Subtract the 5 to both sides.
-5x = -14

Divide both sides by -5.
x = 14/5
