Answer:

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 !!
