Question

If 2x - 3 + 3x equals -28 what is the value of x​

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

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`
