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!! =)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey, um, I dont know if ur still doing the whole stop the hackers thing, but there's this one user, echo2155, that I've seen post a link (or a bunch, not sure). I don't remember what they said, because their answer got deleted. I just figured I'd tell u, because I want to stop it too. It's really anoying when people do it on my questions becuz they use up a question and other people can't answer. I report as many as I can, but there's so many people that do it. I hope this is what ur looking for, bye!
