Question

Solve. 2x – 5=-3x + 15

Answer 1

`\sf \: x = 4`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation,

→ 2x - 5 = -3x + 15

Now the value of x will be,

→ 2x - 5 = -3x + 15

→ 2x + 3x = 15 + 5

→ 5x = 20

→ x = 20 ÷ 5

→ [ x = 4 ]

Hence, the value of x is 4.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to add 3x on both sides of the equation:

`\begin{gathered} 2x-5+3x=-3x+3x+15 \\ 5x-5=15 \end{gathered}`

Now add 5 on both sides:

`\begin{gathered} 5x-5+5=15+5 \\ 5x=20 \end{gathered}`

And finally divide both sides by 5:

`\begin{gathered} (5x)/(5)=(20)/(5) \\ x=4 \end{gathered}`

Answer:

x = 5
