Question

Solve for x !


`\it \large {3x + 5 = 5( x + 3)}`












Thank You!:)​

Answer 1

The solution to 3x + 5 = 5(x + 3) is x = -2. To solve this equation, start by distributing the 5 on the right side of the equation: 5x + 15 = 5x + 15. Then, subtract 5x from both sides to get 15 = 0. Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 15 to get x = -2.

Answer 2

• 
  `\mathrm{x=-5}`

Explanation:

`\mathrm{3x+5=5(x+3)}`

Expand:-

`\mathrm{3x+5=5x+15}`

Subtract 5x from both sides:-

`\mathrm{-2x+5=15}`

Subtract 5 from both sides:-

`\mathrm{-2x=15-5}`

`\mathrm{-2x=10}`

Divide both sides by -2:-

`\mathrm{\cfrac{-2x}{-2}=\cfrac{10}{-2}}`

`\mathrm{x=-5}`
