Question

Solve the equation: 2 * x-3 = 25, x =? (digit answer):

Answer 1

is your answer for x

2(x) - 3 = 25

Note the equal sign, what you do to one side you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

First, add 3 to both sides

2x - 3 (+3) = 25 (+3)

2x = 25 + 3

2x = 28

Isolate the x. Divide 2 from both sides

(2x)/2 = (28)/2

x = 28/2

x = 14

is your answer for x
