Question

Solve for x: 3x - 5 + 2x = 25 - 5x

Answer 1

x=3

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!

Answer 2

Explanation:

5x - 5 = 25 - 5x

10x - 5 = 25

10x = 30

x = 3
