Question

5 – 2x = 3 what is x?

Answer 1

Answer:

X = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 2x to both sides of the equation

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

5+0=3+2x

Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation

5-3=3-3+2x

2=0+2x

2x=2

x=2/2

X = 1

Answer 2

Answer: x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x, we want to isoate the variable.

5-2x=3         [subtract both sides by 5]

-2x=-2          [divide both sides by -2]

x=1

Now, we know that x=1.
