Question

Evaluate the equation.5+5x=-2x+5

Answer 1

x = 0

Explanation:

`5+5x=-2x+5\qquad\text{subtract 5 from both sides}\\\\5-5+5x=-2x+5-5\\\\5x=-2x\qquad\text{add}\ 2x\ \text{to both sides}\\\\7x=0\qquad\text{divide both sides by 7}\\\\(7x)/(7)=(0)/(7)\\\\x=0`

Answer 2

+2x on both sides to get 5+7x=5.

-5 of off both sides to get 7x=0

So x=0
