Question

5x + 2 = 3x + 3
need a answer i got two different ones but dont understand​

Answer 1

x=1.5

Explanation:

5x + 2 = 3x + 3

subtract 2 from both sides

5x + 2 - 2 = 3x + 3 - 2

simplify

5x = 3x + 1

subtract 3x from both sides

5x - 3x = 3x + 1 - 3x

2x = 1

divide both sides by 2

`(2x)/(2)`=
`(1)/(2)`

simplify

x=
`(1)/(2)`

`(1)/(2)`/1.5

sorry for the lengthy explanation hope this helps :) have a nice day !!

Answer 2

x= .5 (not 100% sure but I think that's right)

Explanation:

2x = 1

x= .5
