Answer:

Your answer will be x=2

Explanation:

Five plus 6 times a number is equal to 21 minus 2 times the number

Your equation is this:

5+6x=21-2x

Subtract 6x from both sides

5+6x-6x=21-2x-6x

5=21-8x

subtract 21 on both sides

5-21=21-21-8x

-16=-8x Divide -8 on both sides

2=x

Hope this helps :)
