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

I hope this helped, please mark Brainliest, thank you!! =)

One way to compare quantities is with fractional numbers that represent quantities using divided numbers.

<h3>What is a fraction?</h3>

Fractional number is a mathematical concept that refers to a quantity divided by another quantity. Common fractions are made up of: numerator, denominator and dividing line between them (horizontal or oblique bar).

  • The denominator "b" expresses the number of equal parts that represent the unit.
  • The numerator "a" indicates how many of them are taken.

Some examples of fractional numbers are:

  • \frac{1}{2}
  • \frac{2}{4}
  • \frac{3}{4}
  • \frac{50}{100}

Note: This question is incomplete because there is some information missing. However I can answer it based on my general prior knowledge.
