Question

Which equation shows the variable terms isolated on one side and the constant terms isolated on the other side for the equation 3x-5=-2x+10?

a.) x=5
b.) x=-5
c.) -15=-5x (incorrect)
d.) -5x=-15 (incorrect)

Answer 1

If you take "-2x" to the left side your answer will be x = 5.

If you take "3x" to the right side your answer will be x = -5.


Hope it helped,

Happy homework/ study/ exam!

Answer 2

Option c.) -15=-5x shows the variable terms isolated on one side and the constant term isolated on other side.

Explanation:

The given equation is 3x - 5 = -2x + 10

we take 3x in right side then,

-5 = -2x -3x + 10

And take 10 in to left side then,

-10 - 5 = -2x - 3x

⇒ -15 = -5x

Its shows the variable terms isolated on one side and the constant term isolated on the other side.

Hence option c.) is the right answer.
