Answer:
x = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
2 + 2x + -5 = 5[x + 3]
Reorder the terms:
2 + -5 + 2x = 5[x + 3]
Combine like terms: 2 + -5 = -3
-3 + 2x = 5[x + 3]
Reorder the terms:
-3 + 2x = 5[3 + x]
-3 + 2x = [3 * 5 + x * 5]
-3 + 2x = [15 + 5x]
Solving
-3 + 2x = 15 + 5x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-5x' to each side of the equation.
-3 + 2x + -5x = 15 + 5x + -5x
Combine like terms: 2x + -5x = -3x
-3 + -3x = 15 + 5x + -5x
Combine like terms: 5x + -5x = 0
-3 + -3x = 15 + 0
-3 + -3x = 15
Add '3' to each side of the equation.
-3 + 3 + -3x = 15 + 3
Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0
0 + -3x = 15 + 3
-3x = 15 + 3
Combine like terms: 15 + 3 = 18
-3x = 18
Divide each side by '-3'.
x = -6
