Question

5x-2=3x+40 answer plz :')

Answer 1

`x=21`

Explanation:

`5x-2=3x+40`

Add 2 to both sides:

`\hookrightarrow 5x-2+2=3x+40+2`

`\hookrightarrow 5x=3x+42`

Subtract 3x from both sides:

`\hookrightarrow 5x-3x=3x+42-3x`

`\hookrightarrow 2x=42`

Divide both sides by 2:

`\hookrightarrow (2x)/(2)=(42)/(2)`

`\hookrightarrow x=21`
