Answer:
-x
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
5x + 2 = 3x
Reorder the terms:
2 + 5x = 3x
Solving
2 + 5x = 3x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.
2 + 5x + -3x = 3x + -3x
Combine like terms: 5x + -3x = 2x
2 + 2x = 3x + -3x
Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0
2 + 2x = 0
Add '-2' to each side of the equation.
2 + -2 + 2x = 0 + -2
Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
0 + 2x = 0 + -2
2x = 0 + -2
Combine like terms: 0 + -2 = -2
2x = -2
Divide each side by '2'.
x = -1
Simplifying
x = -1
= -x
