Answer:

1

Explanation:

2x + 3 = 5

Subtract 3 on both sides to get the different values (variables, and numbers without variables) seperated.

2x + 3 - 3 = 5 - 3

2x = 2

Divide by 2 on both sides to isolate the variable

2x/2 = 2/2

x = 1

Check

Now that you have what "x" is (1) you can substitute that into the equation

2x + 3 = 5

2(1) + 3 = 5

2 + 3 = 5

5 = 5 CORRECT

Hope this helped!

Have a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious day!

Subtract 3 to bath sides: 2x=5-3 —> 2x=2
Then divide both sides by 2 to isolate the x: x=1
