Question

2x -5 = 15 two step equation​

Answer 1

x=10

Explanation:

first, add 5 to both sides. the -5 and +5 cancel out, and 15 + 6 is 20. 2x=20. now divide 2 on both sides. the 2s cancel out and 20/2 is 10, so x=10.

Answer 2

x = 10

Explanation:

collect like terms, so add 5 to both sides: 2x = 20

divide both sides by 2 to get the value of x: x = 10
