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!
