Question

Solve the equation.
2x + 35=8x+5
X=

Answer 1

2x + 35 = 8x + 5

6x = 30, so x = 5

Answer 2

The answer is:

x = 5

Work/explanation:

Our equation is

`\sf{2x+35=8x+5}`

Subtract 2x from each side

`\sf{35=6x+5}`

Flip

`\sf{6x+5=35}`

Subtract 5 from each side

`\sf{6x=30}`

Divide each side by 6

`\sf{x=5}`

Hence, this is the answer.
