Chapter : Linear equations

Lesson : Math of Junior High School

2x - 3 + 3x = -28

= 5x - 3 = -28

= 5x = -28 + 3

= 5x = -25

= x = -25 / 5

= x = 5

For this case we must find the value of "x" of the following expression:


2x-3 + 3x = -28

We add similar terms:


5x-3 = -28

We add 3 to both sides of the equation:


5x = -28 + 3

Different signs are subtracted and the sign of the major is placed:


5x = -25

We divide between 5 on both sides of the equation:


x = \frac {-25} {5}\\x = -5

ANswer:


x = -5
