2x + -3 = -1x + 3
Reorder the terms:
-3 + 2x = -1x + 3
Reorder the terms:
-3 + 2x = 3 + -1x
Solving
-3 + 2x = 3 + -1x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add 'x' to each side of the equation.
-3 + 2x + x = 3 + -1x + x
Combine like terms: 2x + x = 3x
-3 + 3x = 3 + -1x + x
Combine like terms: -1x + x = 0
-3 + 3x = 3 + 0
-3 + 3x = 3
Add '3' to each side of the equation.
-3 + 3 + 3x = 3 + 3
Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0
0 + 3x = 3 + 3
3x = 3 + 3
Combine like terms: 3 + 3 = 6
3x = 6
Divide each side by '3'.
x = 2
Simplifying
x = 2
answer x=2

Answer: sry 4 the late answer hope it helps!!!
Step-by-step explanation:
Let one piece of the rope be x
Let the other piece of rope be x + 5
These two pieces put together will make 20 feet.
So we say:
x + (x +5) = 20
What is x? We expand the equation.
x + x + 5 = 20
x + x = 20 - 5
2x = 15
x = 7.5
The shorter piece is therefore 7.5 feet.
The longer piece is 7.5 + 5 = 12.5 feet.
