Question

2-(3x+5)=5-2x

i have too answers but need the right one lol​

Answer 1

x = -8

Explanation:

2 - (3x + 5) = 5 - 2x

Subtract 2 from each side.

-(3x + 5) = 3 - 2x

Apply the negative sign in front of the parentheses.

-3x - 5 = 3 - 2x

Add 5 to both sides.

-3x = 8 - 2x

Add 2x to both sides.

-x = 8

We can't have a negative x value, so we'll need to multiply each side by -1.

x = -8

Hopefully, this helped and wasn't too confusing!

Answer 2

Solution given;

2-(3x+5)=5-2x

2-3x-5=5-2x

-3-5=3x-2x

x=-8 is your answer
