Answer:
x=12
Step-by-step explanation:
move the 3 to the other side to get x by itself.
check: 12 + 3 = 15
What do you need help in??
Ax - c = 2x + 5
ax - c + c = 2x + 5 + c
ax = 2x + 5 + c
ax - 2x = 2x - 2x + 5 + c
ax - 2x = c + 5
X(a - 2) = c + 5
X(a - 2)/(a - 2) = c+5/(a-2)
X = c+5/a-2
I believe this would be the solution.
Substitute p and q with the given numbers (6 and 5) then use pemdas
18+42/6-5= 20
