X=5 

3x+2-5x=5x-8-5x

-2x+2=-8

-subtract 2 from both side
-then you divide both sides by -2

3x + 2 = 5x - 8
Flip
5x - 8 = 3x + 2
Subtract both sides by 3x
2x - 8 = 2
Add both sides by 8
2x = 10
Divide both sides by 2
x = 5

That's your answer.

Have an awesome day! :)

Find two consecutive odd integers whose sum is 36.
kondor19780726 [428]

Let the first number be x and the second x+2.  Their sum, x + x + 2, is 36.

Thus, 2x = 34, and x = 17.  The second number is x+17 = 19.

So   2x + 2 = 36  is the correct choice here.
