Question

Can someone solve 2x+3=5x-2
step by step

Answer 1

Answer: x = 1 2/3

Explanation:

2x+3=5x-2. Subtract 2x from both sides.

3= 3x-2. Add 2 to both sides.

5= 3x. Divide both sides by 3.

5/3 = x. Turn into proper fraction.

1 2/3 = x ( 3 goes into 5 one time with 2 leftover. Place the “leftover” back on top of the denominator).

Answer 2

5/3

Explanation:

2x+3=5x-2

Subtract 2x from both sides

3=3x-2

Add 2

5=3x

Divide by three

5/3=x
