Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
5x + 2 = 27
Reorder the terms:
2 + 5x = 27
Solving
2 + 5x = 27
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-2' to each side of the equation.
2 + -2 + 5x = 27 + -2
Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
0 + 5x = 27 + -2
5x = 27 + -2
Combine like terms: 27 + -2 = 25
5x = 25
Divide each side by '5'.
x = 5
Simplifying
x = 5
