Question

Solve for x: 3x-5=2

A. no solution
B. 7/3
C. -1
D. 3

Answer 1

add 5 to the two and you get 7... because you use inverse opperations to make the 5 go a way you would have to add the 5. so now you will have the following...

3x=7
to get the x alone you have to divide both sides by 3
so x=7/3

Answer 2

3x - 5 = 2 Add 5 to both sides
3x = 7 Divide both sides by 3
x =
`(7)/(3)`

The answer is B.
`(7)/(3)` .
