Answer:

x=10

Explanation:

First, add 5 to both sides of the equation, getting rid of the -5 on the left side but still making them equal.

5x=3x+20

Then, do the same with 3x, Subtract from both sides.

2x=20

Lastly, Divide both sides by 2 and you'll get your answer

x=10

Answer:


\sf \: x = 10

Explanation:

Now we have to,

→ Find the required value of x.

The equation is,

→ 5x - 5 = 3x + 15

Then the value of x will be,

→ 5x - 5 = 3x + 15

→ 5x - 3x = 15 + 5

→ 2x = 20

→ x = 20 ÷ 2

→ [ x = 10 ]

Hence, the value of x is 10.
