Question

5x-3 =2x+15
Someone pls help for geometry

Answer 1

x = 6

Explanation:

5x-3 = 2x+15

i) move 2x to the left-hand side and change its sign

5x-2x-3 = 15

ii) move -3 to the right-hand side and change its sign

5x-2x = 15+3

iii) collect like terms

3x = 15+3

iv) add the numbers

3x = 18

v) divide both sides of the equation by 3

`(3x)/(3) = (18)/( 3)`

`x = 6`
