Question

Solve for x. 2x = 15 + x x = -15 x = 15 x = -15/2 x = 15/2

Answer 1

Answer:

$x = 15$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

$2x = 15 + x$

This is a linear equation in x.

We solve for x by grouping similar terms.

Let us subtract x from both sides of the equation to get:

$2x - x = 15 + x - x$

We simplify to get:

$x= 15 + 0$

This implies that:

$x = 15$

Therefore the correct solution is x=15.
