x + 6 - 5 = 8 - 2

what does x equal?

Answer 1

The value of x after evaluating the given equation x + 6 - 5 = 8 - 2 is 5.

SOLUTION:

Given, equation in one variable is x + 6 – 5 = 8 – 2

And, now, we have to find the value of the variable x in the equation by solving the given equation.

So, let us solve the given equation for x.

Then, x + 6 – 5 = 8 – 2

x = 8 – 2 – (6 – 5) [sending all the numerical terms on left side to the right side.

x = 8 – 2 – 6 + 5

x = 8 + 5 – 2 – 6

x = 13 – 8 = 5

Hence, the value of x after evaluating the given equation is 5.
