Question

How to Solve for X
3x+2x=10

Answer 1

x=2

3x +2x=10

combine like terms so now you will have

5x=10

divide 5x on both sides

so it should look like

5x/5 = 10/5

so both five of the left cancel

leaving x then do 10 divide by 5 to get

x=2

Answer 2

3x + 2x = 5x
5x = 10
5x/5= 10/5
X=2
