Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 2x and 3x

5x-5=25-5x

move -5x to the other side by adding 5x on both sides:

10x-5=25

Add 5 on both sides:

10x=30

Divide 10 on both sides:

x=3

Hope this helps!

we can add/subtract the same expression to both sides of the equation to get an equivalent equation;
we can multiply/divide both sides of the equation by the same non-zero number to get the equivalent equation.

<u>Equivalent equations</u> are algebraic equations that have identical solutions.

We have the equation:

$2x+\dfrac{1}{3}x=21$
