Question

Solve for x.
5x + 3 – 2x = 24
X = [?]

Answer 1

Answer:

x = [7]

Explanation:

5x + 3 - 2x = 24

Combine like terms

5x - 2x + 3 = 24

Subtract 5x - 2x

3x + 3 = 24

Subtract 3 from both sides

3x = 21

Isolate the variable

x = 21/3

x = 7

Answer 2

`\\ \sf \longmapsto 5x+3-2x=24`

`\\ \sf \longmapsto 5x-2x+3=24`

`\\ \sf \longmapsto 3x+3=24`

`\\ \sf \longmapsto 3x=24-3`

`\\ \sf \longmapsto 3x=21`

`\\ \sf \longmapsto x=(21)/(3)`

`\\ \sf \longmapsto x=7`
